We get 4000 just in weather change here.
We have 7000 ft difference in elevation just in my county.
That had to have been an awesome drive.Following your thread and your reasoning for the EFI here MoparMarks. Question for you though, how did I manage to drive from Indiana to Colorado to the TOP of Pike's Peak and back to Indiana again with my '69 Super Bee (carbureted) without having any driveability issues? Not a single one, although I did have to stop a couple times on the way down to let the drum brakes cool off.
800ish feet to over 14,000 and back to 800. How'd I do that?

Spend sometime at 8000 feet and add 100 degree ambient. Then, make several stops. Restarts. If you keep moving it is fine.

Guess your really good with carbs, I don't know. I find it had to believe that it wasn't running rich as hell up here if you have set for down there. Did you pull into your garage while up here? If so how were your eyes and how did your clothes smell? Did you stay and drive it around for a few weeks? How was the throttle response? It probably started right up every time.
On a side note, why did you have to stop and let your brakes cool off? I never have that problem. I use my gears.
Check out those sideburns, cutoffs and the white stripe socks! The awesome 70's! Lasted right up until we killed them off in the 80's, with "velour" (remember that stuff?)Another thought to consider:
Not necessarily...it's actually a good thing. The clinics teach people more about converting and helps those on the fence to take the leap to EFI from carburetors.I got a email from FiTech, they're giving "clinics" on tuning their products. That tells me lot's of people are having troubles.
Electronics are weird... much like your computer, sometimes there seems to be a glitch and a reboot fixes everything. I've had similar with my FAST system, but for the past couple of years it's been working great without any difficulties. Things do change with your engine and while the computers are self-learning it is good to reset once in a while.here’s a funny thing that happened to me yesterday. As you may remember I’m running a fitech unit on my 451.
Pulled the car out for a cruise on a nice salt-free day around here after about three months slumber. After the car was warmed up for some reason the O2 sensor pegged at maximum reading (20.6).
Boy that made the car run like dog **** - the fitech Kept dumping fuel to bring down the air fuel ratio but the O2 sensor stayed pegged.
Turned the car off for a few minutes and it seemed to reset itself. Ran fantastic from there.
