In my honest opinion elevation alone shoots those numbers down. I live 14 miles from southern CO. Elevation is about 5500-6000 feet here and I promise you, you can tell a pretty big difference at sea level. Even in Phoenix at ~1000 feet it’s night and day from here.

Exactly why i brought elevation up, I seen some good videos on how a dyno can be manipulated, but hey to each there own i guess.

Yes sir!! That elevation thing just threw it all out the window!! If you watch any NHRA races, when they do go to the higher elevation places the tuners have a VERY hard time with the tunes trying to get the power out of the engines that they would produce at sea level. Just doesn't make any sense. The air just is NOT condusive to making the power for those mods only. Just my .02..
