the air out there

[moparman63]

air density online has all four tracks between 1200 and 2000 feet this morning.i hope its comparable for us.

Using --> http://www.wallaceracing.com/convert-et-to-msa.php that puts the suckstang running 10.60's at 126. That may be a little optimistic though. haha

[moparman63]

ol 4 eyes will be deep in the 10s for sure.mine should be in hi 10s.

I just want to make it 5 days.......

[moparman63]

me too.but it fires me up knowing im gonna gain 80 hp or better just in elevation.woohoo

[JeffMcKC]

Whats the grains of water down there?

[slimbo5]

Some cars don't respond to those changes like others.

EXACTLY!!!! THIS is the first, and only thing most DW vets think about, NOT what the freaking DA is gonna be! lmao

[BBR]

It's a big deal to moparman63 and I because we normally see DA's in the 6500-6900' range!!!!!

[moparman63]

exactly.

What elevation are you at?

[lun40119]

Seems the cars that are going from high elevation to lower elevation, really never see what they expect. Your engines are underheaded on purpose up there.......because of the bad air..........down here they go into choke.

Hey, I'm at sea level, and through the winter we see mineshaft air!

Don't you remember DW last year when everyone was looking at their time slips in Amarillo wondering where they lost 0.5 sec from the day before?

I talked to plenty of guys that were!

**nevermind** I see what you are sayin'.

[lun40119]

Right.........exactly.........I am not disagreeing. The change depends on where the engine was built. To run in the DA that you run in, my engine would need considerably less head. I lost .7 in Amarillo. In order to be optimal at your elevation, you need less cylinder head to keep airspeed up. When you come down to sea level, you will not see the gain that you think you will...........your cylinder head will be too small, and go into choke early. How do you fit 10lbs of shit in a 5lb box?

An engine built to operate at sea level will be over headed at 5000ft. The same goes for you guys........and engine built at elevation, will be under headed at Sea Level..............catch my drift?
