Thanks.

When you are Altitude handicapped you get what you get N/A.
When you have a supercharger you can restore that lost power from altitude Plus add additional power.
The Delta power gains will be the same you are just starting much lower so you will finish much lower than a guy at Sea level.
There is right about 3% Power loss per 1000 Ft elevation not including weather conditions, which can vary this number a bit.
You can however select an optional pulley to bring you to power levels equal to your friends at Sea level.
So in other words you can have a sea level pulley and a high altitude pulley in your glove box.
Feel free to call me for more details.
Ted.
