CO: Loss in power(due to altitude) a reason not to move?!

[afro]

Hey,

I have an important question. First off, I love motorsports. I like building and racing cars. This being the case, I'm a little concerned about the loss in power moving from sea-level states to Colorado.

So my question for those that live in high-altitude cities like Denver, is the loss in power a reason not to move or am I worrying too much about it?

Thanks!

You're worrying too much about it. You will lose some power but everyone is on equal footing. Cars with some boost usually don't suffer as much as N/A cars. On the plus side you can get away with a little more on the fuel side of things than those at sea level.

Thanks for the response! This makes me feel a little better about it.

Ya, I remember seeing 85 in Denver, so I'm guessing 91 in Denver is like 93 at sea-level.
