Default High Alt Power Loss

I just moved my car up here to CO and noticed the huge loss in power from what it was like in FL. What can I do?

Get used to it my friend. That is why our cars run so much slower up here.

That's pure bologna ! Everyone in Fla. will tell you altitude has
nothing to do with it !
I have heard it so many times now , I almost believe it too !
Our cars are slow up here because we all need the driver mod !
WTF !!

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.

Regardless of what you all think...

Altitude = Less Oxygen

Less Oxygen = power loss

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

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

btw I just accept the loss.
