It actually can be a good bit worse than that. You could take a 13.0 car at sea level and run 14.5 somewhere in Colorado.

Good thing we're out here on the east coast where the elevation is relatively low.

I believe in theory it's a sliding scale that starts at .12 sec at sea level to 1000. At tleast that's what the online calculators add when you bump it by a 1000 ft.

Here's an example.... Calculate ET with HP Correction for 1/8th ET- Wallace Racing

Edit: the 1/4 mile calcualter adds closer to .16, I was looking at 1/8 mile times
