Yeah that's why you gotta add more stickers....If you lived in denver you'd have to have a whole bunch of sticker to bring your horsepower back up. Unless you got a NOS sticker. Then you just need one.

That must be why my bike is so fast down here at 25ft above sea level!

Hmm....this is an awfully general statement. I would think that would be true with carb engines, but would think fuel injected machines wouldn't have the same effects. What kind of machine was this data gathered from?


And how many stickers did it have?

I haven't been able to test it with my FI bike, bit any car I've had trips to sea-level or close to it make a huge differance, wouldn't it be the same?
