when air gets thinner( lesser air density= lesser air mass)due to elevation, the engine will theoritically has lesser compression load thus letting the engine revs higher than normal( of course it's because the engine has been tuned at different elevation of sea level; i.e; the engine air/fuel tuning would be different if tuned at different level above the sea level)

But, it's only a slight change because the ECU will normally had tolerances setted for air with different densities,pressures,temps etc.

The turbo system will have the same concept too, i.e to get 1 bar of boost in genting, the turbo has to spool faster than it does in Klang valley.

This is theoritical opinions.

Thnaks and enjoy ur revs!!!

I see. Thanks for the explanation. The trip up Genting was a real torture on my stock RX-8 clutch especially after going up that steep left hand corner up the hill and then another right corner. At one point when we were lining up to park our cars, I could feel my clutch slipping away. Damn scary.

Good thing after letting things cool down, the clutch was ok again. I noticed some of the 4AT RX-8 experienced higher than normal water temps while going up.

Dennis: dat's normal for clutches and torque converters to heat up when u're on yr way up to gentings

Me too. That's why I was worried when the idling was higher than normal when on Genting.
Some cars overheated while some like myself had some burnt clutch.
