Effect of altitude and 1/4 mile mph

[Zero Signal]

I was thinking of this when I was up in Phoenix last night driving around the Bronco. I was thinking of doing a little experiment and running my car at the track in Tucson and the track outside Phoenix. My best at bone stock was like 15.2 at 92 @ ~3000ft I think. But driving around Phx which I think is close to sea level, there is a HUGE difference in power. Hell, even the Bronco is way quicker in Phx.

So is there some kind of hp correction for altitude that could translate to a estimated et/mph @ sea level or something?

Try racing at bandimere in denver 1mile+ altitude. I went ther a few times with friends when I lived there. I would always here from them " I know my car is faster than this if only there was more air" lol
