Sounds like good advice. The trip will be to Reno for Hot August Nights. It's a week long car fest. AutoX, 1/8mi drag races, burnout contests, poker runs, lots of cruising and generally everybody's testosterone level is kicked up a couple of notches so the inclination is there to show off a bit now and then. I suppose most everyone is in more or less the same boat though so not a big deal. It's just a bit disappointing when it doesn't respond like you know it can. Not a big issue. I'll just suck it up and deal with it as best I can.
I suppose this air density would also have the same effect if you were to dyno the car at that elevation?
