I've raced at 'altitude' tracks for years.
Something you can do is run MORE gear than you would at sea level. Instead of the 4.10's that sea level folks use, use a 4.30.
My expertiseis all with carbed cars but a fresh air system can be worth up to .15 or so.
Carbed cars will use smaller jets when over a 2000# D.A. and go 1 size smaller for 1000# of D.A.
Don't worry too much about the jets as you'll never be able to all the performance back anyway....
