Default moving from 6000ft to sea level!

Hey guys just like the title I'm moving the car to sea level and I was wondering is there any suggestions on changing anything, like sp gap (currently ngk tr55's at I believe .055) what do you guys think about difference in performance I've never driven it below this altitude is there a big difference? Also its going to sit for a little bit of time . Is there anything you all recommend in putting in the motor to perserve it or what do you think. Thanks ahead of time

the longer you have your foot in it the more difference you will notice. A bit over 1 second and maybe 5-7mph.

I went from 3300ft (DA of almost 5K everyday) to a few hundred feet above sea-level. My old TBI 3rd gen Camaro could spin the tire from a 5mph roll

Lucky bugger

Lucky you!!! I live at 7,000ft and on trips when I get out of the clouds It feels like I pick up 50 hp. If its going to sit fill the tank up so condensation can't build in the tank. Also when you go to start it again you could pull the plugs on the coil packs and turn the moter over untill you build oil pressure. This way the top end will be oiled when you fire.
