Elevation Question
How much of a difference does elevation effect performance? I went from sea level to 5k feet and it feels like I lost 50 - 70 horses.

Anyway to get it back?

Thanks!

Yup, less oxygen up high! Sucks.
If you run the 1/4 mile there is a calculator to convert it back to sealevel.

Supercharger comes to mind to get back some power.......
