i have a stock GLE auto and live in Reno, NV (4500' elevation). i knew that elevation will affect performance, but i expected slightly better times.

0-60 i got 10.8 sec
50-70 was about 6.8 sec

i keep reading about timing advance, will it help me? at least to get it close to what the number should be stock (0-60 - 7 sec)?

i've been considering y-pipe as well. i also did an OSCAI mod.

 

Are you using G-Tech?

 

0-60 is High elevation er ... Go run a 1/4 mile at Fallon, NV

 

i think he's using a stopwatch

 

i have gotten numbers from 7.5s to 9s on different attempts. I have a 2001 gle stock except for new rear cat from cattman.

 

bwahahahaha

 

JB weld mod for the 00vi sounds like the fix to your problem

 

WTF? Your car has some serious issues. I know that my car pulls 60 right around the high 6 mark.

 

2k auto should be in low-mid 7 sec mark. Take off your OSCAI and try again..

 

i think my VIAS works just right. i have no loss of performance over 5k RPM.

 

i don't need a fancy "tool" to tell the difference between 7 and almost 11 seconds.

 

Sounds like you need a fancy "something" because 11 seconds is stock Honda Civic (slowest car on earth) times.

 

You guys don't understand ... elevation > j00 ...

I lose 36whp at this alt ...

 

The ‘official’ rule of thumb for altitude loss is 3% per 1000' of altitude. So around here (4500') you can figure you’re driving vehicles with about -15% of the rated power assuming they’re naturally aspirated (that’s where turbos are so nice…no loss of peak power due to altitude) That's 33.3 HP loss. Down to 188.7 HP.

 

And take 20% off of that # for whp ...

 

I thought my times were slow..I get a 8.5 to a 100KM/Hr dash ( = 60mph)
