Here in Albuquerque we suffer from really high density altitudes in the summer. In fact last Friday night it was 8900 ft.

On 13 psi of SC boost, what kind of correction factor would you apply to figure out a sea level equivalent et and mph.

TIA

I'm in ABQ too, and this altitude really kills. I have a 2014 5.0 that's bone stock minus wheels and exhaust, and I was running a full second slower in the 1/4 than it should at sea level. I do know that having forced induction should eliminate some of the thin air issues, but I'm screwed lol.

drag times has a density altitude calculation tool.. pick your track, select the date and then time of the run. scroll down to see DA info, and then enter your ET/MPH and it will give you a correction...
