Re: Tuning for altitude
If you are going to the Mile Highs in July you can expect to see air 8000 to 10000 ft corrected depending what time of the day you run, last year Weather conditions: air temperature 79 degrees, relative humidity 34 percent, barometer 29.81 inches, adjusted altitude 8,869 feet, track temperature 70 degrees. This track has a cooled starting line, the track temperature on the non-cooled area is 90 degrees and down track it is 94 degrees.
. You will lose .8 in et from the air you are in now. Also you will be pitting a good mile from the starting line, give your self some time for cooldown. Mind you, you can be fast on the mountain with the right combo. Starting line temp can get really hot but with a low hp combo you can add air to your rear tires. Go with lower gear trans [ three speed ?]. Shorter rear tires? If you are the only N car you just have to get under the index. Just drive the car and have fun. Depending on how safe you are with jetting at home down 4 to start with. Your car will feel like its broke, Good luck Tom
