Density altitude, has less of an effect on boosted vehicles, as the boost is essentially creating its own atmosphere, it has more of an effect on spool times at that altitude than peak power numbers. Yes, I know what DA means. I know it would effect the performance of any vehicle, but a 1000+ hp car should be trapping a lot more than 131.. unless he is stating fantasy crank hp numbers, and correcting to sea level or some weird shit, which lets be real, who does that?!

If you’re trying to dismiss that his very high elevation has an big impact, then there’s not much for us to talk about. DA absolutely has an impact on boosted cars… I own one and am quite aware of how that works lol. 8000 DA is a crazy number. But your comment was off topic and unsolicited.

It has plenty of effect on boosted cars. Look how much slower even the NHRA Top Fuel cars run at Bandimere vs a track near seal level.
