Just got notification that my JB3 2.0, DCI's, BT & USB combo has cleared customs and should be arriving tomorrow

Now the thing is I live in Johannesburg South Africa at an altitude of 5700ft and am just wondering what sort of gains in wheel HP I could typically expect with just the JB3 & DCI's? I know its usually 60-80 HP at sea level but not sure what the effect of altitude will be? Bone stock dyno was 283 BHP & 303 lb/ft

Also what 1/4 mile times can be expected with these mods at altitude, I've got a 6MT? The local guys seem to run around 13.8 stock

Unfortunately 91RM (95RON) is the highest octane fuel available. However I can get my hands on some Torco octane booster, hopefully this should get me to 93RM? Has anyone tested 2.0, map5 at altitude higher than 5000ft using only 91, if so did you get any codes? I know a water meth injection kit will sort out all octane problems but unfortunately I'm gonna have to wait a while until I've got enough $'s

I dynoed 279 whp stock at 5k feet on a mustang, 337 with procede at 14.5 psi n no other mods. I probably wouldn't try to go over 14psi at that elevation... that's around 16 at sea level from what the guys over at cobb tuning here in utah said.

Since your climate is always hot and the fuel is not the best, your next mod should be meth injection for sure!

BIG +1

no better octane booster than meth.

OP, i am also in high elevation 4500 ft, i ran within a couple hp/tq as you bone stock, 91 octane as well, i gained only 20whp with map 3 on jb3 v1.4, and a whopping 80 rwtq, i dont know why only 20whp but a ton of tq added. Do not go above map 3 on only 91 octane at high elevation your car will most likely not like it and it is not worth the risk. In fact, my car seems to run smoother on map 1 so until i get meth/DP's im staying on map 1. Also i should be putting some catless DP's on in a week or so and plan on running 104 octane on map 8 at the track and dyno so i will post with what i get. im hoping for 350+rwhp and 400rwtq. And then im most likely going to purchase a procede to see exactly how it stacks up against JB. Good luck sir.

Are you on jb3 2.0 ?
I am not sure you should run map 8 at 4,500 feet - even with race gas - could be a risk IMHO.
Best to do a map5 log and send it to Terry for his comments.

Do you have a custom map 1 tuned with terry's input ??
If yes - that is probably what u should run.

[badass1g]

No sir im V1.4.

Many thanks for the info, I really hope I'll also gain at least around 55-60 HP

Will post an update once I've done a few data logs and fined tuned Map 1 of JB3 2.0 with Terry

Hi Badass, hopefully the new custom functionality of 2.0 will allow me to set the optimal parameters for my altitude and at least match what our local guys are getting with just a flash tune, which is around 60HP. Will keep you updated

Hey I live in Utah too...at about 5,500 ft. but I'm running PROcede. I'm planning on taking the car to a dyno soon, but the closest dyno is in Salt Lake City which is at a lower altitude (roughly 4,500 ft).

I've got a question for you OP. Do you know if the track where your local guys are running 13.8 has some altitude compensation factor? I know for a fact that the track at SLC (rocky mountain raceway) is using the NHRA correction factors. It is posted on their website... I also know that since I have raced and beat some local diesel trucks that where supposed to be running faster times than my car. The only thing I have used for measuring the 1/4 mile times is my iPhone dynolicius. When I used to have my tuned 350Z I did compare the dynolicius numbers with my Cobbtuning accessport and they were really close...

Anyway keep that in mind also. My best time so far was 13.92 sec @ 107MPH with a crappy 60' of 2.54 sec. That was bone stock E92 6MT, half tank of 91 octane gas, Stock RFT, on a private road at 5,500ft (GPS measured) I need to do some runs with the PROcede thought....

The whole reason I sold my Z was because forced inducted cars suffers less (power wise) from altitude than natural aspirated ones....

My best with just procede... I went down to i 80 west and did some vbox runs... i ran a 12.6 @114 was my best with just a tune... at 13psi... i did throw in some race gas.... I did this back in beginning of 07 right when I got the procede and everyone told me my vbox must be off ... no one believed me.... i can also beat my buddy m5 0-120 and no one believed that either back then... but the m5 prob only makes around 430 hp at 5k feet and it's 5 or 600 lbs heavier.

Nowadays, this wouldn't surprise anyone of course.
