We got lotsa peeps on here that have never delt with any real 'altitude tuning' ever.
They have no idea what air density even is........

Just the altitude correction would have you close to 13's, The DA would have you knocking on 12's. BUT, with the added HP, would you hook? [:-]

Here in AZ, heat is a big deal.1200ft altitude, but in the summer the DA can go over 5000ft. I'd lose .5-.6 in ET and 3-4mph in the summer.

Thanks guys! A lot of people really don't know what that much altitude can do to a car's performance, all I can say is that it blows *****, but it makes you work harder to make your car faster. I'd really like to get some sort of forced induction, the FI cars up here at altitude have less of a horsepower loss than a N/A car.
