You can order a mail order tune from Frost that 'works' at altitude. I am no where near as high as you (~5400'), but here is what happens.
When you first turn your key to on, the PCM via the MAP sensor 'calculates' your barometric pressure. That along with ECT, IAT, etc is enough information for your PCM to determine airmass and fueling.
Of course your WOT kPA will be probably only be about 70-75 kPa..but the main point is you can confidently order a properly configured tune, regardless of elevation.
It will work..What octane gas do you have there?

Yes, just let Frost know you are at high altitude. Sometimes you can get away with running a little more spark at higher elevations (since your cylinder pressure is lower).
You have picked a good tuner. He can set you up just fine.
Good luck..and yes use that 92 Octane!
