[QUOTE="slowdave, post: 1441585, member: 87305"] Yeah. I think that at higher elevations, the engine makes less power at a given throttle setting, or stated another way, equivalent power requires a more open throttle. The more closed the throttle, the more work (PMEP) the engine has to do drawing air across the throttle "orifice". At high elevation, it is similar to downsizing the engine. You operate at a more open throttle for the same power, resulting in better efficiency. Sorry, didn't realize it was an archaic thread; it popped up in some sort of list of threads and I replied. But an oldie can be a goodie, right?? :) [/QUOTE]
