How much ET will you lose in bad air?
I was going to go to test and tune tonight to try all my new mods, Quickshifter, throttle plates removed, Brocks Smeg, front end strapped. But the density Altitiude was 4600 ft it was 94 with 68% humidity, good air for my area is around 2000 ft. Just wondering if any of you know how much it will hurt et on these bikes. I'm guessing from 2000 to 4600ft would be about 2 tenths? thats about like running in Denver colorado. I think that track is usally around 5000 ft.

Well As bad as I wanted to try my new mods, I figured why beat the bike in 4600 ft of air. I will try for next friday night. I'm thinking I can run a 9.60 something, we will see

It's the air density that matter's it matter's alot , just break out your bike early in the day low air temp, some good moisture in the air , feel the diffrence from the hot dry day's
big diffrence.
Bottom line is you lose power in elavation change , 1 to 3 HP per 1000' above sea level maybe more!

we've got a track that is at sea level here, and a track that is up in the mountains. Before I got banned from the sea level track I ran it on friday and the one in the mountains on saturday. Maybe other people will have different results, but from what we've been able to gather at our track you loose about .08 for every thousand feet of elevation change. That being said, I've gone out before on days where the air was shitty and ran near the same ET's as days where the air is good but had my mph way down.
