Sea level FTW!

Surely an extra 50hp at sea level compared to Calgary at 3500'. Slip light on despite AWD, all the way through 1st gear on dry pavement. K&N + Fast Intentions = huzzah!

Holy crap does this thing rip at sea level now. I'd better be careful, or I'll be posting questions about FI setups next...

I am your density. (Extra points if you know what that's from.)

I made the mistake of taking my skyline to sea level shorty after I got it. The tune on the mines computer + 94 chevron left me hungry for power when I got home. So I bought a Toyota. Ha.

^^I'm sticking to 91 in the hope I don't get too addicted. These adaptive cars would probably tune to the fuel after a couple of tanks.

Calgary is a little < 3500' above sea level; yes it does make a difference.

a very rough guidline....
For every 100 h.p. available at sea level, only 70 are available at 10000 ft
