Altitude definetly kills the horsepower. I am a little lower altitude at 4200 actual feet. But the density altitude is 8000-9000 ft here as well. I run an uncorrected 1/4 mile at 12.4 at 115 mph on 2.0 60ft (17" nittos). So according to the webpage you posted that would 10.59 at 131. I think thats a little off, but one could only, by about 1 second. This month I will see what I can do with my new set of 26" hoosiers.

Up here in Denver with my 2800 stall and stickies I can only manage a 2.0 60' time. It pretty much dead hooks too. I definetly can vouch for the 8,000+ density altitude and it sucks. But it is really fun to watch Z06 vettes running low 14's.
