well everyone on here has a good track with very good air, because it will take alot of HP on a bike to run in the 9s over here and thats if you can hook up on the 2nd run i launched at 4500 rpm and killed the tire.
This was in ABQ, New Mexico the DA for that night was 8400'
So i will challenge any one of you to come over here and ride your STOCK ZX-14 to a 9 second pass or a 143 MPH trap speed
If i didn't live 2500 miles from new mexico i would take that bet .... 
Reviving this thread. Yes, I'm trolling so  ...ok not really but I'd like to put in my .02 cents or so.
I too live up here in Albuquerque 5300' altitude with the common 8000'+ DA. Not only will you be fighting the lack of power but the lack of good track prep. I'm sorry to say but on a stone stock (stock height, stock length) ZX14 you will not net better than a 10.30et., 6.50 1/8th, you'll be lucky to hit better than a 1.70 60ft. time and your trap speeds will not exceed 136mph even at your size. Now with lowering, slight stretching and gearing, a 9 would be close.
So, we're thinking of offering you a chance to come out here and show us SW boys how it's done. Maybe pay your way back if you can hit a 9 in stone stock configuration, provide housing plus food and drink. All you have to do is fly out here and we will provide a stone stock ZX14 broken in. We can even dyno it to show that it makes the average hp shown around the nation. You run the # and your flight back is paid for. Don't run the # and your on your own.
What say you?

Back to the subject of horsepower to run that time the problem with bragging about horsepower is this. Small engines can make some hellacious HP numbers but without the torque to get them there they ain't worth shit. A bunch of buds were big into imports and never could understand why their 250-300 imports couldn't beat my stock 4.6L. The only thing they knew was the 4.6 was rated at 215 Hp they didnt understand the 295 ft/lbs of torque is what mattered.

Poor track preperation
high altitude 5300 ft
8000ft plus air density
Roughly 3% hp loss per 1000 ft
Any bike ran in albuquerque will lose about 20% (on average)power loss from a sea level track.
I've seen a 5 mph difference in traps and a .5 sec improvement between albuquerque and phoenix (firebird is approximately 1100 ft). Additionally,going from phoenix to houston my bike went nearly trapped 3mph better than phoenix.
Factor that into the equation and the kid ( 200 lb's)on his zx14 looks pretty good.

9.78@155.13 mph 1.71 60 ft @ a near mile high dragstrip
