I love the EFI in my vehicles. My 71 has the 6.0 LS with 4L80E over drive. The 14:1 ratio is why you don't have to mess with EFI. It doesn't matter what elevation your at it knows already and compensates for it.
This is one of the main things why GM,Ford Dodge all have to keep in mind. The general public doesn't wrench on their own vehicles so they make it simple for them to drive anywhere no matter what area your in.

I agree the old school carbs I never knew my dad to get out and adjust them when we went on vacation to the mountains.
It's like racers adjusting for cool air are hot muggy air. The carb can't adjust to it but EFI can by the computer.

I'm thinking real hard on the sniper system for my daughters 68 now.
