Yeah just switch to the next size pulley to make up for the PSI you're losing at this altitude and go beat up on all the modded N/A guys

My schedule keeps changing, but on my way home (currently in Buffalo, NY) I'm going to do second gears pulls with the G-Tech here, at 3000 and 6000 feet and I can put them all on the same graph for comparison.
On the way here I noticed that climbing a hill there would be at zero vacuum or just into boost, where when I got to the other side of Kansas I could climb a similar hill, with similar acceleration, at 10" vacuum. The difference in oxygen content at 6000 feet is about 30% less than sea level. That's a pretty serious difference.
My house is at 9000 feet, so I feel it quite a bit.
