Performance difference going from 5000' to 1900'
OMG!!!. I couldn't believe the difference if performace. I'm in Salt Lake City, 5000'.
I went to Vegas (1900') this w/e for the NASCAR race. I knew I would feel an increase in power,
but DAMM. I was messing around from a roll at around 20 mph, I gunned it and when it
downshifted I felt the tires break loose and when it grabbed 2nd I was squirly again.
The altitude made more of a difference in performace than the CAI/tune, which did alot.
The motor rev'd up so much quicker, like i had 3.73 or 4.10s. I'm sure that anyone who
has gone from high alt to low alt or low to high knows what I'm talking about.
Now I'm really jealous of you guys a sea level. Can't wait to drive to Calif the Spring.
