Is there a certain formula that is utilized when trying to convert your 1/4 times to sea level?

I.e. If I ran a 14.5@91 MPH at 4000 ft, what would it take to convert that to a sea level number?

L=[(m+2.1265)/(3.995)]-[(M-2.1265)*(3.995)]

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

L stands for Linear Weight
m stands for Mass Velocity * Linear Weight
M stands for Multiple Spark Discharge / m

Then how does this formula translate into ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT when there is no unit for conversion of ALTITUDE? The formula you have is going to be the same in your car no matter where you are.
