I believe a turbocharged 617 is a little over 120 hp. Not sure about the naturally aspirated, but obviously it's a lot lower.

As far as altitude goes, I am not sure about the 617, but on the 603 that is controled by the EDS. I wouldn't call it control of the "mixture," because it's not really about a mixture so much as the amount of fuel injected. It can always take as much air as it wants ... that isn't controled. So it's just fuel control, really. The 603 has an altitude sensor that will adjust idle speed accordingly.
