Re: Altitude (66ImpalaLT1)
... The problem is that the barometric pressure is 76-80kpa all year. The only thing that will compensate for that is a supercharger or turbo...[/img]

Re: Altitude (pettrix)
The only thing that really helps gain back the lost horsepower at high altitudes is some type of forced induction. You just need to make your own air density!
My car made 501 on the dyno when I had it tuned in Tempe. Based on my MPH in the quarter here on Colorado I am only putting about 370-380 to the ground.
