Default High altitude mods

Short of forced induction, what should I do different(if anything) than someone at lower elevations? I live just above 5000' and frequently drive to about 9000'. I just installed the Stealth air box and have a Hooker catback on the way. FTRA? Ported TB? Opinions?

Thanks

You should do the same basic mods that anyone at a lower altitude should do...you'll just be a little slower.

the best mod you could do is buy(or rent) a truck and trailer and go to a sea level track <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I had my truck down aroud Dallas a few years ago and WOW! It feels like it has a bed full of dirt up here compared to how it ran down there. Oh well, who makes the easiest to install blower by the way? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
