John,
All cars lose lots of power at high elevations, and 8000ft is way high. My diesels would be fast at sea level but quite sluggish at 5-6000ft in Reno. I can't imagine how they would be at 8000! Ugh. You could try messing with the ALDA (search archives), but after that, it may just be the way the car will operate up there in the clouds. If you ever get to lower elevations (say, under 2000ft) try a 0-60 timed run with a stopwatch (and a GPS to verify speedometer accuracy). Your car should be in the 13.5-15.0 second range. If it's much slower, something is wrong. This is the easiest way to determine "how it should run".
HTH,
