That's exactly what I mean... let's say you want 1 part air to every part fuel. You only get say .5 part air at 3000 feet, so the computer compensates for this by only giving .5 part fuel.

Maybe it's just me.. but a FI unit should compensate for this. Same with any airplane. You go up in altitude and lean the mixture.. but get the same performance than you do at lower alt.. actually better performance due to the cooler air.
