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.

Hmmm, I notice that I get drunk sooner at higher altitude.

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