I'm lazy. What does that correct to at sea level? I'm sure it still isn't all that fast but now you've got a baseline run that will be easy to better. Just looking for a silver lining here.
BTW, wanna race my 1.3 liter Swift??? j/k

I don't think the drive matters man. I drove there and immediatley did a run pulling a 13.7 @ 104mph with a 2.2 60' ft. Then I parked my car for a couple hours with the hood open and let it cool off. Did a second run after the sun set and pulled another Identical 13.7 @105mph with a 2.2 60ft.And how do you know your tires weren't gripping well? You never told me your 60' ft?
Oh yeah. I pulled a 13.7 @ 105mph at 4,000ft in Fallon and pulled a 13.2 @ 111mph at sea level in Sacramento. with the exact same mods. Works out to a little over a tenth of a second for every 1,000ft of elevation.

The track is 4200ft, but the air that day was good. I didn't have a weather station and I didn't hear the announcer say what the DA was. I'm guessing in the low-mid 5000s. But NHRA index correction is .4 et at that track. I've typically seen gains from Fallon to Sac in .5~.9 range on cars that aren't creating their own atmosphere or making big horsepower.

If you have/ are getting LT's be sure to get the Corvette o2's. They are longer and do not require extensions. I went through 2 sets with the o2 extensions. For some reason they didn't last long, I blame the extentions. My Corvette o2's have lasted a couple years now. They are Bosch.
