hp looks right, but I think you'll break into the low 11's to high 10's
with slicks and that kinda power.

I was gonan sayt a bit slower. I didn't think he would get that fast considering how thin the air is up there. Add that to the summer heat and it's going to have an effect.

I would agree with that if he was at sea level but I don't know exactly how much elavation will hinder his performance.
