The NHRA Stock/SuperStock conversion gives a close conversion but isn't truly accurate. It converts from elevation altitude but doesn't take into effect the density altitude. If you get the density altitude of the run, the conversion will be a lot closer to an actual sea level pass.
My conversion (corrected times below) is based on a dyno correction factor. It takes into account the air conditions as well as the altitude.
