Question Ok driving to 9k feet on sea level tune?

I'm leaving for Colorado tomorrow morning and I'll be driving the Evo 2k miles from sea level and 93octane to about 9k feet and 91 octane. I was planning on re-tuning as soon as I got to 91 octane territory but I've just found out that my tactrix cable isn't working . Now since I don't have time to trouble shoot the cable/software, am I ok to drive out there on my current tune? Obviously I wouldn't be beating on the car and would try and add octane booster at the fill-ups (even though that probably does squat). Once I get out there I will be able to use a different car to get around so I'm not worried about not having time to re-tune.
Thanks

Less air so it should just run really rich, not a big deal if your not up there forever.

Going up in fine going down is the problem area :P

You probably are going to loose a lot of boost pressure going up that high.

Ok great. Ya, I'm not too worried about power. Just don't want to knock all over the place and break something ;-)
