Altitude Correction Factors

[Robert_K]

Do you guys agree with this chart?

To convert your timeslip ET and MPH to sea level. Multiply applicable factor times your ET or MPH.

(Example: You ran a 14.4 @ 103 MPH at 5000' elevation track. The correction factors are .9367 and 1.0661 for 5000'. (14.4 * .9367) = 13.50 , (103 * 1.0661) = 109.80 MPH. So the correct timeslip would be 13.50 @ 109.80 MPH at sea level)

I think it's pretty good a NA car, but not for a turbo car, and a supercharger is somewhere in the middle.

With that being said... So since C&D tested the Z and ran a 14.1 @ 101. At 5000' I should run high low 15's @ 95?

Sounds close... I remember Mudd and Ashton running 15.3's one night in stock Z's, and I believe Mudd's best ever was a 15.1.

For a turbo car there are too many factors. Most will run close to the same as sea level IF the turbo is within its efficiency island, and is allowed to run more boost given the lower atmospheric pressure. A SC car is effected almost as much as an N/A car though.

Man... I'm so slow now. :D 14.3 was the best in the Evo @ PMI. And thats before the MBC and Exhaust.

But that's with an AWD car, so a 15 second FWD Honda could give it a run for it's money anywhere else.

Yes I guess it could give the Z a run for its money... Time to go look for a SC. :D

yeah rob i saw a z when they first came out at pueblo. he had a exhaust, intake and ground wire kit.. he ran a best of 14.7... you have a long ways to go to catch up to where you were at:) but remember no more problems:D

here is the correction charts for na, sc, an turbo applications

Yeah but his 60ft's were in the 2's anyways. Properly driven he would have had an advantage.....

[Robert_K]

Dis is true... I had a hard time getting good 60ft's :(

You can not post about 1/4 times. You need to pop your Bandi cherry 1st. :D jfwy
