[V8] [s-cars] For Sale, 1 Soul

Deleting one cylinder was 12.5%, two was 25%, I chose 25% because it is
actually closer to the correction factors you usually have to use when
competing at Bandimere Speedway (Elev. 5850 feet), with really stagnant hot
air that just saps the lifeblood out of the engine.  Most of the time the
psia is approx. 11.9 (11.9/14.7 = 0.81)..closer to 0.75 than 0.875.
Anyways, you get the picture :)

Ouch... It isn't that bad unless you are half way up Pikes Peak. Good grief,
you're talking 25%, 17-18% is more realistic at Denver elevations. Darn it,
now I'm thinking of all the money I'd be willing to spend to get a 15%
increase..... Oh well, at least most of the competition is in the same boat.
And for those that aren't, I have the RS2'd UrS, at least when the boost
finally comes on......

Agreed, at sea level.  At altitude, the naturally aspirated stuff just loses
too much, in my opinion.  If you want to know what the B6 feels like at
altitude and you are at sea level simply unplug two injectors or coil wires
and there you go....pretty close :)
