altitude and air temp hp correction?
 
anyone know how much hp is lost per 1000 ft or so eleation?

and a reasonably accurate idea of hp vs air temp. i've been told it's roughly 1% for every 10 degrees, but does anyone have a better idea?

thanks

This online calculator is probably somewhat accurate for most calculations:

There is also this one for force-inducted engines. I have only briefly looked at the calculations, but it seems like the guy has a good point.

those are both great, but i don't have all the necessary info to plug in.
thanks for the help though, i'll make sure to pay attention to all those parameters next time.

Sea level is 29.92 inches of mercury. Divide outside air pressure in inches of mercy by 29.92 and that should be about your hp loss.

https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...chmentid=82824 this chart was meant for airplanes. But pressure loss is linear up to 35,000 feet or so.
