I guess forced induction is the best option for high altitudes. The loss of power available is very much noticeable when driving a smaller displacement na motor in the mountains... less so in the city (Denver)
Yes, you'll make less power, not sure what percentage though. I know when I was home in WA state (200ft) and moved to El Paso, TX (3700+ft) I could feel the loss of power. Plus, I was Uprev tuned in WA, and threw a lean code when I first got to TX.
