High Altitude E.T.'s

For those interested, here's a couple pics of my E.T.'s

This one is my best in Seattle, near sea-level (mine's on the right):

This one is my best I got today in Albuquerque:

They don't use VHT on the track unfortunately. I did all I could to drop my 60' times, but it just wasn't to be. You can now see what a difference 5,000 feet of altitude plays on HP. I've even added roller rockers and an electric water pump recently. It's gonna take a cam and some tuning to get back into the 13's again. :/

Wow...........over a second of loss - I wouldn't have expected that.

You need to somehow get some more O2 into that engine.................if only there was a way to directly shoot some oxygen in..........ah well, mabye one day technology will allow for that sort of thing.

Good numbers! (on the first slips)

It also helps to get rid of the corpse in the trunk before you make your passes.

Yes, that's probably why there's a LOT of forced induction cars running around here. One shop told me that N/A cars lose about 25% of their power here, turbo/supercharger cars only lose 15-18%.

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of a nice 50 shot to even the odds up a tad.
