10-4, Hardder Performance! And good thread. Here is the information I sent to HP that might help some others out. And, if you have more insight as I only put a few instances, please chime in.

From Moose: Corrected is the ALL important adjustment to a run depending on the air and altitude or, DA. DA stands for Density and Altitude. The higher the altitude the worse your run will be. Density will also effect your run.
Here is a good example. If you run at 12.90 there in LA you will not run that same time here in AZ. Why? Because you are right at or below sea level where the air is plenty! The more air the more power.
The heat will also play a HUGE part in the whole outcome. The cooler the better. So your car will always make much more power when its cooler out.
The best set up is, cool air and sea level or better. The worst set up is hot air and high altitude. That's why you will see me preach here about DA and how one guy in say NJ can't blanket his time for everyone.
My corrected time means, if I ran in perfect conditions, i.e. seal level and cool temps I would have ran a 11.99. But because I was fighting a DA of over 3500 I was only able to pull off a 12.46. Kind of like fighting an up hill battle.
Here is the drag race board DA converter for all runs. What you would do is go to your local weather site and get the information then plug them into the converter.
here it is and hope that helps!!
