The times sure are slower here.

That is so true.... When you are running at almost 10,000 ft the air is so thin that you just can't make the HP it takes to run the quick numbers.. I have been told at that alt it will take app 20% out of a naturally aspirated engine... The turbos can make their own air so they are not effected as much at the others...
