Sea level ETs?

Sea level ETs? - 09/10/14 12:19 AM

I have a 72 Scamp, with a 302 headed 318, Comp 260 cam, manifolds, 600 cfm performer carb, rebuilt 904 with shift kit, and 2.76 gears. Lots of low end grunt. With 215/70/14s, it ran 16.01 with some traction issues at Mopars at the Strip. Knowing that it was about 70 degrees out, dry as a bone, and about 2000 ft of elevation, what would the realistic time at sea level be? Most cars I saw seemed to be running about .500-.750 of second slower than what they could of. Feels like a 15.30 or 15.40 at sea level.

scroll to the bottom of the page, and do your math.

(you want to scoot, lose those granny gears.)

You need to know the actual Density Altitudeof the track on the day and time you made your runs..which factors in physical elevation..barometric pressure..temperature and humidity...oh..see you were in Vegas...LOL...sealevel is probably 3 to 4 tenths faster...

Stock and Mildly Modified Naturally Aspirated Engines
15.27 @ 0 MPH
