Elevation Effect

[slyfoxexplore]

Well this might sound a bit wierd but i just had moved from way up in mountains of Wyoming to east coast to Pennsylvania. I was out checking out the scenery and listining to the new flowmasters rumble (showing old man his mustang and i have something in common). Some little honda out no were trys to race me so the first time since i moved to the state i stomp the gas to the floor and blew off this hondas doors. My truck has never went that fast that quick or put me back in my seat. I dont know if this due the flowmasters or what but man it gave me and my old man a ride and a good laugh. He thinks the elevation. Could this be true?

A lower elevation means denser air, which means the motor will develop more horsepower.

the general rule that i hear is 1-2 hp per 1000 ft drop you gain. and goes the other way when you go up
