LOL same here. I never knew elevation had that much of an affect on the HP of cars.

thats why when I ran 13.1@108mph at my local track at 4,000' when I was CAI+Tune only people thought that was awesome. corvette C6z06's have ran slower times, c5z06 fastest ive seen was 13.6@105, and he was modded. we are down that much in power. it's a full second slower.. I'd love to go to a sea level track and see how it feels to run in the 11s.

No no the moral of the story is at any higher elevation you need forced induction!! Thats how you fix planes and cars

That's the truth. That is what gives all the STi's and EVO's up here such an advantage. I drive up at 10,000 ft monthly. And live at 6700ft, much higher than Denver's 5200.

Made 366whp today, picking up 8hp. Car started pulling timing up top, dyno tech said he thinks it's just not breathing well enough at this altitude.

Correction factor of 1.28 today.
