does age have anything to do with it Mike?

Went out last night and did the final runs on the SEC before the conversion work starts. I wasn't particularly pleased with the results but it is what it is. The empty, dead - end road I found was not especially level. 

 

For the mathematicians amongst us, can these 0-60 times be corrected to sea level? How much did I lose in time as the runs were made almost 3,000 feet above seal level? 

 

This car dyno'd 194 rwhp a month ago and did around 7.0 second 0-60's a couple of years ago in Antioch, CA (500' MSL). I was surprised to see results this slow.

 

 

Later,
