Gah! I really feel like my G is gutless now that it is up so high in the air. I suppose the same goes for eveyones car here, so it should all even out, but still...

Anyways, just wanted to mention it.

IM at 4800' The best thing you can do is get your base timing kicked up from 13 to 17 degrees or maybe even 19 degrees. That helped a bunch.

heh, very true, very true. Even at 6k feet, I went for a run, and you can definitely tell a big difference.

As for the timing, GP, thanks for the tip; I'm going to wait until I TT my G (Hurry up, JWT!) and get it tuned then. Hopefully that won't be too long...
