Yes, and no. No because DA makes a big difference when comparing runs. Running an 11.2 @ 126 mph in 5000' DA will be MUCH faster than that in good conditions. It is deep into the 10s in good air. It is also a quicker car than a car that runs 11.1 @ 127 mph in -100' DA.
If you can get consistent DAs then there's really no need to correct them since the runs will be apples to apples. But running your stock car at 5000' DA (i.e., hot summer afternoon), then adding a cold air intake and running again at 500' DA doesn't mean your car improved due to the CAI, it improved because of the better air. So in this case, the runs wouldn't be comparable.
My 2 cents.
