"Free" supercharging!
Just drove my Targa for the first time since I trailered it to Tampa from Denver. Holy cow it's FAST!!! WOW. I knew the move to sea level would make a difference, but man, it's fun!

at 5000 feet, the air contains 14% less oxygen than at sea level.
at altitude, you can advance ignition timing further than you can at sea level. one degree for every 2000 feet above sea level (until 8000 feet, you cannot advance beyond that). remember that when you go back to denver, and the result will be improve hp and improved mpg.

I love when the fall comes and we go from 90 f to 65 f. Instant HP bump.
