You bet that it does! The higher the effective altitude the less boost and air density that you will see.

VortechC5 is correct. DA changes will affect a blown or turbo car. But, it does so at a lesser degree than a N/A car. Correction factors for FI cars at high altitude are lower than those for a N/A car (just look at NHRA's CFs). Just another advantage of FI. :)

:iagree: Altitude and temp are great contributors to less performance, due to the air being less dense and therefore non effective. It also effects the human body and the ability of the body to carry oxygen, that is why all airlines pressure the cabin to 10,000 feet prior to takeoff so that you are not affected by the altitude change. Sorry for the long explanation I really was trying to keep it short.
