Elevation 2,540

I have seen posts about 5,000' above sea level, but I'm curious about the effect here at 2,500 - 3,000?
I know I can drive a golf ball farther here.

What happens to times in a 1/4 mile?

I am about the same altitude, my mustang at 2680ft (Edmonton Budweiser park) is consistantly .3s faster in the 1/4 than when I race it in Calgary which I think is around 3200ft. Other guys I know of have raced at Mission BC (near Vancouver) at or below sea level and are at least .5s faster or more than at Edmonton. Naturally aspirated, same tune.
