HP LOSS= (Elevation x 0.03 x HP@SEA LEVEL)/1000

Works out that 3%(0.03) times your HP= loss per 1000'

I don't have a sea level number for my car so my guestimate is:
My car dyno'd at 376.1 HP @ 2320'
376.1 x 0.03 = 11.28 HP loss per 1000'
Therefore 11.28 x 2.32 = 26.17 HP loss @ 2320'

So supposedly at sea level my car should dyno @ 402.27HP. I hope to dyno it at Jeffs this Summer so we'll see......

conversion factors: Denver 5800ft.
convert to sea level E.T x .9276
MPH x 1.0773
convert to altitude E.T. x 1.0781
MPH x .9282

Ananconda, Montana 5100ft.
convert to sea level E.T. x .9367
MPH x 1.0675
convert to altidude E.T. x 1.0676
MPH x .9368

Ok, that makes sense. Bandimere is in Morrison and probably is 5800'.

i'm not sure where this is in relation but...
Grand Junction, CO 4800ft.
convert to altidude E.T. x .9520 MPH 1.0455
convert to sea level E.T. x 1.0504 MPH x .9565

maybe this is closer for you

Actually Grand Junction is on the western slope where it starts to decend in altitude and plataeu. I live right at 5300'. Thanks for the formula
