High altitude?

Hey I was wondering if there was something that you do to your truck when you travel. I live in Texas and some buddies and I will be going to some of the races out of state. Do we need to change something because of the altitude change?

Not really! you will see a diffrence in how the truck runs, if you have a smarty you can change your program and see if you get a better combo, mainly just adjust your fueling and timing program ! it may help! higher will make you run hotter and not as well!

in Dallas, we're at about 300ft... my old truck would get toasty even down near sea level... our cabin in colorado is at 9000ft... going over a pass at 12000ft, the pyro looked like a throttle position sensor!
