I ran that time 2 times, the rest averaged 15.3 When i ran those times it was at night around this time of year where it was around 55 deg.
OP, what were the conditions you ran in (temp humidity)

Three Wheelin'
With my '00 TL did about the same thing, a 14.99 at 93 mph, at sea level in 55 degree weather as well. Mods were headers, intake and UR pulley. I left it in D3.

well it was really humid and hot, alot of people took out one headlight just so they can get more air. I didnt do anything just d5 and gas. alot of people said i get a pretty good timing since a porche owner i talked to said he did a way slower timing than what he did in seattle which is AT sea level.

even when its cold here we can have 70-100% humidity
altitude plays a factor but my car ran mid 15's all night in Louisiana.. nobody should be complaining about humid weather unless its me!
i remember another member having similar issues with a car that seemingly ran fine... thinhthan i believe even ran an 18 once!

my humidity trumps his humidity.. so the fact still remains... car is running slow

That would be true for the most part however in denver it would be close to a 2 second gap from sea level. If you have never driven at that high of an altitude I suggest you try it sometime! It really feels like something is wrong with the car unless you have only driven the car there at that elevation for the whole life of the car! The difference from sea level to 3075ft is drastic enough as far as performance goes. I could only imagine sea level to 7800ft!

yes the almost 8000ft above sea level will make a big difference. Big time thin air up there! However, I think the heat affects you Tuscon boys more than elevation. 2000 isnt going to make that much a difference.
