A tune at sea level by a competent tuner with experience with high elevation cars is perfectly fine for a car driven regularly at elevation. I've seen nothing in the OP that indicates that there's anything unique about this car that makes a sea level tune innapropriate. Maybe if it was on a standalone, sure, but it's not.

Lawrence_P, what are all your mods? What specific issues are you having?
No disagreement here.
