Saw that you live in Denver (5280 ft).

A rough calculation to calculate your HP loss from altitude....

hp loss = (5280 [altitude] x 0.03 x 240 [sea level power]) / 1000 = 38 hp loss

So, theoretically, if your car matches Perrin's dyno of 240 whp @ sea level, then your car should put down ~202 whp @ 5280 ft of altitude - on a dynapack.

For comparison, here is a video of my car @ ~190 whp [dynojet] @ sea level.
