I agree with the above statement. Forced induction makes it a little closer than what a n/a motor would make at elevation. Spool times and some other stuff will change. I would say look at getting your car tuned again, due to the elevation your afr's may have changed. Most cars run richer up here due to thinner/less air. Overall i agree that most of it is driver,set-up, and tune. Thats my two cents on it.

Ask yourself one question:
"When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?"
Don't forget that you had 93 octane down at Sea Level. Most places here suck with 91 and most of those oxygenate/ethynolize the crap out of their fuel for lovely emissions. Best suggestion is to pay out the arse for 100 octane at Bandimere and just deal with the oxygen related power loss after you do a nice tune to the 100. But that is just my opinion

I just add Oxy fresh to every tank and it
makes up for the lack of oxygen. !
