Track altitude

Say I were to go to a track out in the desert, 70 degrees out, 4500 ft above sea level, no seats, sawblades up front, and my 17's in back.

Is that a bad combo asking for a bad timeslip?

and/or How fast do you think it would be?



























Because I already did it and Im embarassed to post my times.

Well, if you give me more info, i can tell ya exactly what you are able to run.

1. Tell me what car you have with tranny
2. What track was it? City and State?
3. List all your mods.

With all those things, I can tell ya what is possible for you to run.

4500ft is HIGH! You lose big power at 4500ft.

Sounds like a track in New Mexico to me. Anyhow, yeah a mods list would be nice. Lets assume a bolt on 5spd, I'd guess 16.3 @ 85mph. Auto maybe 17.0 @ 80mph.
