Default altitude/Air/Fuel Concerns

What’s up guys, I’m moving to Colorado in a few days and I currently live in Illinois. My concern is with the effects of the Colorado altitude. The air in Colorado should be thinner or something like that verses the thick air flow in Illinois. How would that affect my cars performance? Would the air fuel ratio have to be adjusted or something like that? Would 19 PSI of boost feel the same in Illinois verses 19 PSI of boost in Colorado due to the altitude change?

the car is gonna fell different the air is thinner Not sure if that makes it slower of faster on the top of my head but it WILL make a difference.


Is your car tuned? if it is you will need to tinker with the tune a little I think for hte change in altittude but if your just stock ECU stock tune then your ok cause the ECU will adjust accordinly

yeah my car is completely stock, so I guess it should automatically adjust itself.
