I mean...

So stoked for you. Planning on climbing Santa Fe Baldy when it warms up?

I loved hiking the Pecos.

When I drove back from CO, going over the Continental Divide in the Eisenhower Tunnel, I got passed by a semi.

That's how little pickup NA cars have at altitude.

So, update: I went to LA for two months with the car and it was back to normal. It totally is the altitude. Now I'm back in NM and it's bogging again. Maybe I'll try to get it tuned, I dunno.

Really glad to be back here, though!

So 7000 *.03*200/1000 = 42 HP lost, seems a little high to me, but im sure there are other factors in there.


So, for our cars (stock), take your elevation in thousands of feet and multiply by 6 for power loss :)


Taking a trip to the summit of Everest, expect to lose 6x29=174 hp...wow! Good luck making it there, though. Ok, enough of the surreal...
