Does anyone know how to take the RPI recommended jetting/rod selections for an
Edelbrock 500 and adapt them for use at 4000 foot altitude?

Since no one answered, I'll chime in.  I'm at 7000 ft (Santa Fe) and  
you really are going to need a wideband O2 sensor and gauge to sort  
yourself out.  I did my TR-6 by trial and error and I think it took  
about 6 months of fussing til I got it close to right.

Good luck.

I sent this to you last week,  
(For 4000 feet, I'd just try the next leaner needle/jet size in there, and  
keep your foot out of it, unless you're at that altitude.) 

I sure enjoy modern engine management. ;)
