Altitude where you live...
What is the altitude where you live? I range from 0-500m depending where I am in the city. I hope that ALT means altitude, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Unless someone lives in Dever...think I got the record. Up at 4500ft here
4300 at the local track....4800at the house. Bench homes where we are moving next run 5500.....
"if you are baking this cake at high altitude, please add..........."
Yup that's me.

Sea level for me but not too long ago I lived at a 10,000 ft elevation. Going into town only took me to 9,600 ft. Naturally aspirated engines are absolute dogs at that altitude. A turbocharged engine is the way to go when you start getting in the mile high realm.

A turbo will pack air until it reaches its predetermined boost pressure. A blower will only pack as much as it can under set conditions that are determined by outside air pressure and pully size ETC, ETC,...
