actually that is about what we lose here, compared to sea level (am a mile high afterwards)

and to make it into boost terms, we actually lose 2-3 psi here (atmospheic pressure is 14.7 at sea level, and here it is only about 12.5 or so)

1G TL an option to convert to rwd? engine sits in right position like rwd. I have seen people confused when my hood is open, they ask me if its rwd. This guy in my class who drives a 5.0 mustang rolled under my car to look for drive shaft...
