However the power curve is going to be shifted. If the STi boost target is say 180 KPA (about 10lbs) at sea level and it attains that at say 2500 RPM under load...in Denver you may not hit that until 3500 RPM, which to me is what Jordo was getting at here. I would not just toss out the Z due to altitude...its still got power, its still fun to drive and don't forget CO is second only to CA in terms of cat piss content in the fuel they sell...which makes tuning to the edge a PITA and you must pull out timing add fuel and overall just hate the fuel there. - b |
