Altitude comparison Here
Altitude comparison Here Just got back from the Dyno Edge here in Albuquerque. My power loss guesstimate was almost right on the money. I lost a total of 54hp and 64 lb. ft. of torque at the wheels compared to my last run in Tacoma, WA.
The only 'power' modification I've done since I moved last December was an electric water pump.
Here's the corrected #'s: Corrected
Here's the uncorrected #'s: Uncorrected
Here's my last run in Tacoma, WA. December 13th: Tacoma Run
I was hoping to get a corrected # of 300hp at the wheels, but I'm suspecting the only difference in setup being that I ran on my TT2's, and all my previous runs were on the stock wheels w/ DR's. There's a 12 lb. difference between the wheels. So I probably lost a couple hp due to rotational mass. Oh well, close enough for me. Time to get that cam installed.
This is going from near sea-level to a physical altitude of 5,300 ft. Typical DA around here in Albuquerque is 7,000-8,000 ft.

I thought I was clear.... I'm just showing people how altitude sucks the life out of an N/A car compared to sea level. I moved here to Albuquerque in January. FYI, I've also lost 1.2 seconds off my best E.T. in Seattle.

to Alstate...good to have insurance...
to Alstate...good to have insurance...How is Destin/FWB lookin after the storm? I used to live there when I was a kid?
