Default Altitude Correction Tune?

I am at school in altitude of 5000+ ft. My home town, which I go back to occasionally, is ~600 ft. I am going to get a 100 shot tuned soon, what shuold I tune it to air/fuel wise? Everything will be thrown way off. Currently the car is heads/cam and it runs pig rich up here becuase it has a lower elevation tune on it. I'm at a standstill here as I don't know what to do. Is there a way where I can swap tunes from high to low with ease? Without spending ungodly amounts of $$ Let me know

Seems to me map/baro would change with a change in altitude, thus correcting air/fuel. hmmm....

Well my car runs extremely rich up here. Blows black smoke big time. Then I go to STL and it runs like a top.

like stroked30th said, your MAP sensor and ALSO your MAF should both note a change in air density and respond accordingly if they are not doing this, i'd say something is wrong and i'd probably lay off the spray until i figured it out.
The MAP sensor is the factory way of changing the tune for altitude. Even if the MAP didn't work, the MAF would notice a difference in airflow VS rpm and the PCM would respond accordingly giiven enough drive cycles.

I just got on it today, a freaking diesel practically. Ok not that bad, but its just solid smoke in the upper rpms. Dark smoke thuogh, not white. I am going to probably just take it in for a tune or something. Bah this sucks.
