Whoa, I guess the altitude really makes a difference eh. What state is that? Once you get the 60' down to a 2.0 you'll get a better time lol

Colorado. I was launching pretty softly. I could have launched harder. I was happy that i improved every run. i was hopping to get down to 15.00
My 6th run confuses me because i had a better 1/8 mile but then the last half of the race i was slower. I had let the car cool down for over an hour before my last run.

Generaly we assume about a 1 second off of you run if you N/A. Little less if your boosted. Boost owns all at altitude in my opion. I really think i can get down to 15 flat when i go back. Maybe ill have a throttle body spacer by then. I wanna hit 14.7 N/A up here that my goal.
Also thinking about some shorter tires to help out the gearing

I say get your launch down and get those 60' times down to about 2 flat, your top end is no good though. I'd do intake (if you haven't) downpipe, TUNE, rockers

I wouldnt worry too much about those times, that is probably a high 13 run at sea level. As long as everyone is running similar times and you are competitive with similar cars thats what counts.

Dont feel bad, I live in El Paso, TX. 3900ft above sea level. I can't do much faster than 15.4. When I move back to NY I'll run it there and see what the difference is.
