So, this is completely opposite of what I've read and understood about these systems! That is the one on only reason that I was considering running something like the self learning FiTech or Holley Sniper. My understanding is that they continually take readings from the wide band O2 sensor (s) and adjust to the optimal air:fuel ratio based on the information that they get from the O2 sensor. The air density changes as elevation changes, therefore, they are continually adjusting for altitude based on altitude air density changes. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about these systems. So, can you explain how they do not adjust for altitude?

Thanks,
Nik
