Altitude vs. 0-60 times. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey all, I'm in Flag, and do most of my testing at 7200 feet or thereabouts.  When my truck was bone stock in Phx, it did a 15 second 0-60.  (*cough* pathetic)  Anyway, I've gotten it to around a 16-16.5 0-60 here in Flag.  Does anyone know how much altitude will effect that 0-60?  I'm thinking it should be close to 10 or 12, although that may be optimistic.  I haven't gotten the ECU, (or the supercharger) so the truck isn't doing pavement broadies and spitting out corvettes yet.

yes alt can make a diff in performance....thats why all the cali drag racers like comin out here to Joliet (Chicago area)....most of em set record times at the strip. Lisa Kubo STILL hasnt beaten her time from summer 99 set out here!

Yeah, I know it can make a difference, but I was wondering if anyone had some sort of calculation table or something.
