yes but if the weather is right where it is like being at sea level and you have the temp. with it you will the same for ex.if the weather is say 70* with 50% humity and the altitude is say 1500 feet are less that is perfect weather.
and yes i know the low the to sea level with the same weather would be even faster

LOL I just got back from Spokane yesterday, I was over at the Casino right next to the track!!! I went over for a World Premier of a snowmobile video, my Dad's company sponsors the guys. I didnt have my truck though, but at least I know where the track is! Ill check my schedule and see if I can make it on the 8th, mabye sooner. I gotta get my Pacesetters on first though.

What are the stock hemi RCSB and QC running stock at your track?Toe says a stock RCSB hemi will beat a VHO base on a VHO he seen run mid 15s Common sense says that if road and track tested a SSS VS the 500LB lighter reg cab hemi and won,wouldnt the lighter VHO beat by a bunch?

Aye that's right, I witnessed a stock V-max run a 15.8 when the air density was a bad 3800ft (15.0 at sea level). He was beat by a 3/4 hemi 5900lb weigh, with the 6.1L cam, headers, programmer, who forgot to shift into 3rd, bouncing off the rev limiter in 2nd for the last 300ft. A 05 RC/SB hemi on 17's ran a 15.6 that night, he was stock. I was running 14.4.
Either you got one freak of a truck, this guy at my track can't drive, or hemi drivers at your track can't drive because something doesn't add up.
It's possible you got one freak of a truck. There's been the occational hemi that's posted much better then average numbers too, hemi777 ran a 14.2 a few years back in his rc/lb, before he started modding. He also got a 4x4 rc/sb daytona to run a 13.7 with a cai and programmer.
You also need to admit no other v-max's have run a 14.5 stock yet, most are in the 14.9 range. rc/sb hemi's have proven to run 15.1 to 14.7 stock, depending on configuration. Heck even Jim got his qc into the 14's with next to no mods.
I personally don't think a qc/sb hemi will beat a v-max, it won't lose by much either. A 1/10 or two difference tops, close enough to be a drivers game.
