altitude

Does anyone know a formula or something to compensate for altitude in the 1/4 mile. Up hear Calgary Alberta, Canada we are way above sea level so all that drag times are slower. I really want to know what my car would run at sea level. I can beat new celica's pretty easily and they run around a 15.0 in the magazine tests so I think I am into the high fourteens maybe? Anyway thanks for the help.

Cool.... That means my 13.7 at 2500 ft. translates to 13.2 at sea level!

Sorry, I don't have any pictures of it on my computer yet. Its a white gsl-se with the optional equipment spoiler, other than the big muffler it looks stock on the outside. What kind of car do you have? You should meet up with the rx7 (kind of a club) here in calgary. Look under the Canadain forum. I haven't met up with them yet but I think I will this weekend. Later
