Welcome! I beleive the elevation (5320 ft) will take about a second from your times. I use the sea level conversion from NHRA altitude correction for na cars. (Albq et) x (.9328) = approx sea level et. I recently bought an 02 WS6 and I plan on taking it to the track this Sunday. The only mod I have is a lid so I'm only expecting around a 14.4 et. depending on traction.

That's about right, the DA can get a lot higher, but in the early spring like now, it'll sit right about 5500.

I ran a 14.3 w just a lid only, so you should be close to that. I'll be out there this sunday too, if you see me say hi.

I usually park along the west fence behind the staging lanes, at least one other f-body guy will be there with a pewter t/a. I plan on getting there early, but I'll be there for a while.
