dont like how pathetic you look when a mature gto owner shows up?

and its not brown nosing.
its called being polite, and welcoming a fellow car enthusiast to the forum.

you should try it sometime.

Bakersfield is a better surface for sure...it just stays so damn hot up there.

Well that day it was 110* and at 2700 feet. My best time over there was 15.5 that day. If you correct that on DA it should be mid 14's and thats good for a stock cobalt at LACR. Its the traction that kills LACR times. Oh and just altitude correction is 15 flat.

by the look of those numbers thats the calculation for an n/a car....

remember, if your F/I, the altitude correction factors are about half that of an n/a....
we are affected far less by air density, as we create our own atmosphere

so psi is independant of density?

I suppose it depends on the blow off valves design....
like is 7.5 lbs where it cuts off or is it shut at 7.5 and looking to swallow more?
because cool air does make a HUGE difference in my performance.

The computer pulls so much timing at higher temps

nah its not completely independant, but the affect caused by air density on an engine, is reduced by compressing the air.


http://www.wallaceracing.com/altitudecorrection.htm
this is a great little table that separates them for ya.

5500ft
N/A .9315 1.0731
F/I .9720 1.0265


12.7 @ 108 becomes
11.8 @ 115 for a mildly modded N/A
but only 12.3@110 for a modded F/I
