Default Looking for track times at higher altitudes

I'm just curious who else in here has to put up with crappy air? It's frustrating to me seeing all the crazy times people pull off being in better air.
I'm in utah, track elevation I believe is about 4500 and da is typically 7000 plus in the summer. I made my best pass this weekend, 11.24@124 1.69 60' da was 6800 and I made 554hp 491tq on a dynojet.

That said, I'm always looking for comparable setups, let's hear some other track numbers if you got em from some people that race up in the sky like me.

What's your setup? With that terrible DA, I bet that is a pretty decent trap speed at your power level.

11.24 is running great at 6800!
Tucson is 3000' MSL and density altitude is above 7000' in the summer. The only good thing about it is we usually run at night during the summer and the combination of high density altitude/lower power makes it slightly easier to hook up.

Trap seems a bit low, but time is good.

I know I trapped 128.8mph up there on my cam setup, and Don I believe has touched 130.

I got a cam, ported/milled heads and halltech cold air. My trap went down a little with my new tires that are bigger. Hoping to whittle the et down some more.
For comparison sake there was another zo6 there running low 13s at about 113. My best time totally stock was 12.6@116

I think my runs were in decent weather on the 315/17" et streets.

Yah, most stock z06s up there are mid 13 second cars and low teen traps. I think my best time stock was 13.2@113.
