    Default Higher altitude = higher duty cycle?

    Higher altitude = higher or lower duty cycle?


    I can't seem to remember. I was thinking I remembered it as higher but not sure.

    lower. less air == less fuel == lower duty cycle.

    I thought that the added pressure of our altitude put more pressure on the injectors forcing them to work harder at the same A/F's.

    Higher altitude = lower pressure

    ^Word. The air gets thinner leading to low pressure.
