Default Altitude effects on performance

I currently live a few feet below sea level in south Texas and may be moving to Colorado Springs, 6000 feet, how much performance will I loose with that much of an altitude change?

Default RE: Altitude effects on performance

quite a bit. Most people notice almost a 1 second drop in E.T. going that high up in elevation

If you have a custom burned chip, you will want a setting that leans it out a little bit
