Wow, I'm surprised the hp loss was only about 10 hp. Any chance you've got the data still from both runs? I'd like to see how/if the power curve shape shifts due to altitude.

Also, what were the temperature/humidity differences betweent he Davis and Reno pulls, if either of you can remember? Was it hot in Davis and cool in Reno? That might explain the two numbers being so close.

All I know is that I can noticably feel the difference in power/torque when I'm driving in Reno at altitude, vs. at sea level... and I don't think my butt-dyno is sensitive enough to pick up +/-10 hp.
