Nope, shouldn't be. It will make a little less power due to the less dense air but other than that no problems.

I'm at 4,500-5,000 ft daily. You won't have any problems - or should I say anymore problems than at sea level.

Hmm instaling a supercharger is starting to sound like a better idea... im just afraid the 103k engine might have issues with it
