It's pretty simple as a general rule you lose power in
direct proportion of air density.. If at bonneville you have
95% air density then for every 100 hp at sea level you only
have 85 at Bonneville. BTW if you own an air density gage
(best bet) or use the one at the ERC trailer you can jet
your car with confidence right off the trailer..
