being driven over a mountain pass at 8325 feet in altitude.
The engine is rated at 255 hp. at 5200 rpm. What is the loss
in horsepower due to elevation?
HP loss = Elevation in feet ÷ 1000 × 0.03 × Sea Level HP
HP loss = 8325 ÷ 1000 × 0.03 × 255
HP loss = 8.325 × 0.03 × 255
HP loss = 0.24975 × 255
HP loss = 63.69 HP
