from my experience elevation makes a HUGE difference in performance. i used to read bout people getting mid 13s with their bolt on GTs only to find out that at 5000 FT the best that i could run about 95mph in the 1/4 and my best so far is 14.65 [:@]


edit: i would love to have an idea of what my could run at sea level where can i find a calculator that does that??
I use wunderground.com to pull up the weather statistics. and you can pull up old days so works good. others will pull up weather data for only the past day.
for the calculator I use Modular Depots calculator for caclulating ET at sea level
The run was at 7:30pm on May 6th of this year.
Based on:
Temp: 74.45°
Humidity: 52.5%
Track Altitude: 1850 feet
Pressure: 29.835 in.

Density Altitude = 3568 feet
ET MPH
Uncorrected 13.633 @ 98.67
Corrected 13.04 @ 102.94

Well my corrected time was 0.006th lower and my MPH was 0.09 higher so thanks to your calculator I feel slightly less bad[&:] The track was poorly prepped since there were only bout 10 cars out that night although I won't use that as an excuse. Next season I'll be ready for them....cheap 15" rims and some DRs

a bolt on GT can get into the 12's if you got the suspension mods, and slicks. Because 13.19@105 there would still be more left in it et wise going by the mph. I wouldnt use the calc that would be exactly your time, but an estimate.


no problem

That ET is a little low. What are your mods. What was your 60ft?
