engine size or number of cylinders really has nothing to do with it. you are also going to be running lower compression up there, you can actually advance your timing a bit more or use a lower octane gas if you have a tune made for sea level.
most of those 4 cyl cars you see there i'm sure are running turbos. 20-35psi being forced into the engine is totally different than an NA car. i doubt you are seeing any NA 4 cylinders at that track unless they are running in the 18s ... or worse..

haha yeah....
Its okay though.... I got better!!!!!!!
I wanted to run under 13.5 today.. It was my first goal...
Second Run... I wanted to get under 13.25 at 107mph...
I ran again and missed 2nd and then said screw it and ran a 17 something lol..
Last run I was like oh man I want to get under 13.10... I was pretty sure I was maxing out... But here is this time slip
It was from 53-74 degrees all day with the DA over 8000... I had the tires at 32 psi which is the normal pressure the whole time... I was launching at about 2300-2500.. I felt pretty good, but I was still spinning a little much I think.

So I am really wanting either new rims, or to get mine painted.. Make that powder coated. So yeah.. I am thinking either gloss black or a dark gloss red like my car color. I am getting the body kit put on on the 25th! So let me know what you think...
So yeah... They look like this right now...
