high elevation 1/4 mile
 

Hey guys I live in albuquerque new mexico, our track is about 5200 ft. I wonder what times some of you guys are getting at higher elevation? And what mods you've see. The biggest gains with? I have seen some stuff out there and done some research but it's all pretty old and not a whole lot of info. So far my best is only a 14.5 @ 98 mph :/ mods are rmm insert, hpfp, UR testpipe, Corksport sri and tip. Let's your times and traps

Take a look here http://www.mazdaspeedforums.org/foru...mile-times-18/

Most entries have altitude or DA.

i did a 14.0 or 14.1 (can't remember which one) on pump gas and 13.6 on e85 in utah at 4500ft ASL. I had a Catless DP, CS intake/tip, res delete on the exhaust and fmic with tr8 core and tuned

Thanks I've seen this but only a small percentage are at high elevation

Was this on your stock turbo? I can't seem to get my dam 60' down :/

yes, with a 2.1-2.2 60ft i believe

I never ran stock turbo up here, but you will see .5-.7 tenths slower then sea level is what ive noticed.

The more power/bigger turbo you run the less of a difference you will see.

Are you tuned? With the amount of mods you'll need a tune to take full advantage of the upgrades. 14.5 is on par with a stock vehicle at sea level, do I would guess that the marginal gain you see by running your mods untuned, offsets the losses due to elevation.

Fwiw I ran a 14.6 at 99mph untuned with an intake.

mods in my sig.

wow thats some great driving there! i may need some better tires. do you know what your trap was?

here's my embarrassing slip :worried:

It was my MS6.

Those 2x MS3's were my previous cars.

O ok I'm looking for ms3 cars to compare thanks for the info though

dam man good job with some E85 youll be close to 12's! what RPM is you LC set at? you could probably drop you pressure if you want better traction and launch hire for less wheel hop depending on what your launching on now

well its a hard sidewall tire so going to super low pressures wont help. i started at 3200 which is what i use for autocross, but i bogged, then i spun at 4000 then it was probably about right at 3800 but i had to let off a little because of wheel hop

What kind of tires are you running? Are you on stock suspension?
