Well we are up around a 4000ft elevation here in Albuquerque. Its not terribly slow it just doesnt get the air needed. I would like to see what it does at sea level. It is only a scsb on 20's. I freaked out when i saw most of you guys saying that you ran that low in the 1/4.

I drove my truck to Angel Fire,NM which is 8,000+' and was amazed how much slower it was compared to here at about 800'.
