Default Altitude effects on ET?

Has anyone seen any data on the effect altitude has on ET for cars in our class? My best time here in Alb. (5000 ft) was 13.9 seconds.

Altitude, density altitude, temp, barometer and humidity have NO effect on ETs or trap speeds whatsoever!

j/k It has a major effect, that would be a low 13 easy at sea level.
