what am i really running?

[nate9213]

I live in Denver and was wondering if anyone knew how much the altitude affects my timeslips? If I run a 15.22 here, what would I run a sea level?

about a second

Depends on the turbo I believe.

My guess is high 14's

Welcome to the board nate.

You should really fill out your profile and not be so secretive. How about some info on you and your car?

[john]

Yeah - what Paul said. And welcome aboard.

Sorry about my profile but I don't know how to edit it. Help? That 1/4 mile time was my friends 96 eclipse turbo. I have just a stock 92 civic lx, but am planning on putting a JDM B16A2 and than putting on a Jackson Racing Supercharger. Any one with a similar set up?

If you friend is only running 15.2, he (she?) needs to turn the boost up. Now. :)

john, what do you think i can safely run PSI wise on my talons stock fuel system?

[91IntegraXsi]

i think it's about .7 seconds, so if you run a 15.2 here then it should be a 14.5 down at sea level. :)

Most factoryn turbo cars lose about 7-8 tenths but NA car will lose sometimes 1.2 secs. C5 Vettes lose just over a second for example. 13.3s asl but up here they net mid 14s mostly.

I think www.supercars.net has an altitude calculator somewhere on the site.
