I think because its a N2o car the altitude doesnt effect it nearly as much as a NA car. Im sure some gains would be there but not 1 tenth for every 1000ft that would put him at 8.25 at sea level.

and still not even a 7, but why dont you think a tenth for every 1000ft. . . that sounds about right to me. . . i ran in like 19xx DA and when i did the DA correction it dropped my time nearly .3 tenths but thats also for a NA car, nitrous and FI is less like you stated above, but that'd put them right around .1 for every 1000'.

I know some cars that have made it to the Vegas track, with the same tune they went 3 tenths quicker. Not sure about their DA at the time.

Altitude affects any engine, slows em all down.

1-1000 sounds about right on a NA car, The Juice evens it out more. That car will run deep in the 8s at sea level, no prob.

i think chris will be the next one to potentially get there, big purple is a mid 8 ride, so there is a ton of potential there.

My bet is on the twin GT42 car. That kind of power is easy 7.9x range.
