Does ANYONE have any idea where to find this info??? I've scoured the internet, but come up dry. I think if we all are correcting our ETs, they will have more meaning... Especially when evaluating the effect of bolt ons...
Yes, smokemup.com will do it for you, if you are willing to pay him $5/mo. But that pisses me off, and my computer is as smart as his, and can do it for me, I just need the math:)
Any math whizzes in the audience?

If you're looking to correct for elevation, here's a link that was posted from a member here:

Also, I went to the track a couple of weeks ago and my best time was 14.77@93mph. My thread is located here:

Thanks for the suggestion, but doing that only comes up with horsepower/ET/trap speed calculators. They suggest your RWHP based on trap speed, etc.
I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT WILL CORRECT A TIMESLIP TO STANDARD TEMPERATURE AND ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE/HUMIDITY ETC.
Is there anyone out there that knows what I'm talking about???
If you run in 32 degree whether on a day with 31 inches of Hg, you are going to look a lot faster than the dude that ran his car in 80% heat, with 29 inches of Hg, and lots of humidity... But your car may actually be slower.
ENTER 'CORRECTED' ETs. Have you ever seen an ET that stated 'corrected' after it? It was mathmatically adjusted to a standard atmospheric condition, so that it could be compared properly and justly to other 'corrected' timeslips.
Someone has the formula, AND I WANT IT NOW!:burnout:

THAT IS TERRIFIC! Thank you very much, Mike. Now I can compare 'apples to apples' when I tune my car. The calculator works GREAT!:banana2:

P.S. I think your project is coming along nicely. If you can find out the atmospheric data for your track that day, you can correct your 14.77 run, and see what it comes out as. Put it back here, I'd like to see it... ESPECIALLY after you get the converter in.

Wow! Thats no fun. Those that live in cool low humidity areas will no longer be able to boast having the fastest cars!
