So far, I have yet to build a system that has a measurable change in performance at altitude.
It is pretty easy to get it right.
Most people don't live in outer space. The pressure differential between Los Angeles and Denver is only 2 PSI.

Actually, I'll probably get a chance to dyno the new setup in Utah later this year, so we will have a real comparison.

Look, seriously guys, it was Superman who could leap tall buildings, stop speeding bullets, and fly, not Turboman, because while Superman was getting his hero on, Turboman was still spooling up...
