Just curious I have recently moved to Laramie, Wyoming for school (WyoTech). It is crazy how the power is affected my 94 Mark VIII by the elevation! The car is pretty much stock, JMOD, 160 Stat, Tranny cooler, I'm at about 7,125 feet above sea level, and the power loss is extreme! Is there anything I can do or anything that any of you have done? I have been told to just keep driving and it will adjust to the new elevation, also I have been told to disconnect the battery for about 10 mins. I was told by a few people around here to NOT disconnect the battery because that will reset back to factory and take even longer to adjust. I miss having the power it use to have at 200 feet above sea level! Any help will be great! Thanks!

as far as i understand,your car will not "adjust"
all NA cars lose power like this,only turbo/supercharged cars are not affected(or affected nearly as much).

I remember reading stories of Thunderbird supercoupes(stock) beating high performance cars(vettes etc,) up in higher elevations like this,

i think the "adjust factor" is ,,,you will adjust to it, :Bang
