I've seen your timing map, and you run less timing with 100octane than I do with 91 octane. I would call that conservative, and I doubt the tune killed your engine.
I am curious why a speed density system, which basically gets it's main information from the MAP sensor, would need a retune at elevation. I don't doubt it, I just would like to learn why. The only thing I can think of is that the volumetric efficiency changes in the thinner air.
