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.
In my opinion, the OP would be best served by getting tuned by a reputable tuner at sea level and maybe shooting a couple logs from elevation to the tuner to be safe.

Welcome Lawrence! Post up some pics. Come out to an auto-x or a track day as well, they are fun!
As for my being tuned at sea level and living at elevation, I have not had any issues (knocks on wood), aside from the normal loss of boost/power due to elevation. I have had tunes from both GST (normal stage two), and now from DB after doing the VF34 swap. Both shops are excellent and very trustworthy IMO.
I do not know much about the tables yet, but now that I have the V2 accessport I am looking forward to doing some logging and learning much more!
