Default Correct my time for DA

Here's my time and the DA is in parethesis at the end of the list. "11.41 @ 123.84 - Evilways - 06 Z51 A6 - CAI, CB, cam, hdrs, L92/L76 Combo tune - (2087)" Can anyone "correct" this time for DA, I know it doesn't count, but I'm just wondering.

If he ran 11.4 at -2000+ ft. he would run way slower at sea level not faster.

I don't get it. So you ran at -2000 DA or +2000 DA?

You have to be kidding right?

I know how altitude and air density works, like the post says its at 2,100 ft above sea level so I have no idea what point you're trying to prove to me.

I guess I don't know what I am talking about, since he obviously wants to correct his time to figure out how much "slower" his car would be at sea level.

I stand corrected you got me.

It's really not that big of a deal, it's just my opinion, right or wrong, just tried to help out before you got excited.



I stated how would he run -2,000 because the post says 2,000.

If he was at +2100 DA, that is roughly .2-.3, give or take, that he would be quicker at 0 DA, and he would be even quicker with negative DA. This is a good calculator that I use as it corrects all of the factors. http://www.modulardepot.com/density.php

P.S. Hi Chris

there is a DA calculator somewhere on google. They tend to be pretty accurate. My camaro ran a 13.5 @ 108 here in colorado, the DA calculator said it came to a 12.1 @ 119 or something. The next owner of the car ran a 12.9@117 or something like that in st. louis, so i'd say it's pretty accurate.

Or just read the sticky. It has a couple of DA calculators. Before this gets to bad, this is done. I think he got his answer.
