Thanks Brian,
The car came from Texas orginally, and when I first brought it to this altitude it performed badly, after adjusting the ALDA per GSXRs (Daves)recommendation the car produces very little smoke and performs excellent, beleive it or not at 80mph the car seems like it is hardly working even at this high elevation, it will easly accelerate under these conditions, clearly this is NOT the case(working easy) in light of the indicated temps,but the car has lots of seemless power, fuel consumption 27 plus miles per gallon, really runs smooth.

What does concern me is the possibility of head or head gasket failure related to overheating, I plan to run the car up the hill at 65 mph to see if it stays cool, however, at 70-80 the engine really feels in a sweet spot. Thanks again
Ron
