Power will always be down with lower oxygen in the air.

EO
Just a small correction. High altitude does not mean less oxygen. It is still about 21% oxygen at high altitude but the air has lower density and when we are talking A/F ratios we are talking about mass. Not volume. Lower density means less air. Not less oxygen.
