I'm not aware of anyone having elevation issues except maybe Sperry, but that's not a daily driver situation.
You, (Dean), on the otherhand, blew your new motor because you tuned it up here and then drove it hard at a track at sea level without data logging to make sure it was safe.

Did you not read what I wrote?
My comments were specific to a specific table and modifications to the intake path. Those would apply no matter the tuning method or altitude. If you disagree with those, please specify why.
Unless you are clairvoyant, the root cause of my engine failure has yet to be determined and based on the current evidence, it is likely to be due to an under-performing injector at high load. I did make boost related changes to multiple tables at lower elevation to resolve an over boost situation that might have contributed or even caused the failure, but the cylinder that failed is not one of the usual suspects and I caught the situation fairly quickly. I will gladly provide results after the injectors get tested when I get the rebuild done. Don't fret, if I blew it up, I will take the blame/credit.
