fuagf -- that's just fine, good for them -- all kinds of roads into mountains to be had as it is -- let's see, 1200hp here, relatively close to sea level, would mean still about 720 even at the top of Pike's Peak (14,110', actual pressure each time I was up there was about 18.00", or about 60% as much as at sea level [ http://www.springsgov.com/Page.aspx?NavID=65 ]) -- and still about 1000 a mile up in Denver/Boulder (rough rule of thumb being you lose 1" of mercury for every 1000' you go up, so lose about 1/6 of sea level actual c. 30.00" going up 5000')

that should be adequate

once spent 2 straight weeks driving a coupla hundred miles each day, all inside Colorado with little duplicating roads already traveled -- to see and cross as many of the (paved, and open) high passes as I could -- didn't get the half of them -- this coming summer probably about time I head back there and see and cross a few of the rest
