At sea level, a pressure exists...atmospheric pressure, which is 14.7psi. Air has mass, so if you think about it, the air at sea level has all that air in the sky pushing down on it. As you go higher in elevation, this pressure decreases and becomes less dense.

You lose horsepower, but the Coefficient of Drag goes down as well....so It's very possible to have a worse E.T at a higher elevation with almost the same trap speed.....
