[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 12658467, member: 68944"] One thing altitude does help with is that air resistance dies a bit, sparser air is slightly easier to cut through. That said a 1000whp, say 25psi, uncorrected (if its corrected then it will be slower obviously) car at 4000 ft should have the mathematical potential to reach a slightly higher top speed than it would making 1000whp, say 22psi, at sea level because the air is thinner. If you add boost/power to reach sea level numbers while at altitude, your top speed will raise slightly vs sea level because the air is thinner/cuts easier. Edit* assuming optimal tune state, proper cooling system etc. a blower car might run worse top speed at altitude as the blower lobes get too hot and heat up the air charge entering the motor which will rob power [/QUOTE]
