Ok... The Jannetty test showed the Airaid added 9RWHP to a stock SS... so let say we give Airaid the benefit of the doubt and say you pick up 11RWHP. Now using a DA calculator looking at 7000 feet, if you run say a 15.00 in the 1/4, the DA calc says that if you run that same car at sea level you are looking at upper 13's. So clearly a full second faster. It takes a LOT more than 11 RWHP to make up a second! Rough number is about 10HP = 1/10th second...
So adding an Airaid my give you gain you .1 or .2 in the 1/4 mile... it certainly won't make up the difference between 7000 feet and sea level...

I was going to say something along these lines, but you beat me too it and worded it better than I probably would have anyway.
Heh.
