NowI was speaking to josh and he mentioned a few good points. Did you get a tune that is you decide to go on a nice road trip and are not on that elvation you will be ok? Also what gas do you use 91 or 93. Reason for asking some places can't get 93 octane so did he also give you a 91 octane tune just incase? Like I said this all depends if you ever planned on road trip out of that elevation. If you never do then I guess these questions really don't matter

The tune should be good for a large range. It might be a problem if I wanted to go somewhere that was around sea level as I would be making around 9 psi of boost instead of the 7.2 psi here at altitude. I am using 91 as it is virtually impossible to get 93 pump around here. There are a couple of racing fuel outlets but that would require mixing my own. There are maybe 2 stations within a 25 mile radius that have had 93 in the past but that was around 2006 and I don't know if they still carry it. So, I opted to run 91.

My road trips mostly consist of hitting the canyons in our foothills in the summer with some trips up to Winter Park and Breckenridge which are both at higher elevation. I should be good to go.
