I know it's really not that important to me right know being that my car is sitting in someone else's garage but WHEN I get it back and completely dialed in, at what altitude do carbs start complaining?

This I can speak to from experience. I've driven my fair share of cars (carbuerated mostly) from the west coast to Denver. With carb'd cars, I always can feel a noticeable difference as soon as I hit 4000 feet. Around 10k+ you don't want to stop 'cause some cars can be a PITA to get the car started again. They will start, but takes some cranking. When I have to stop at that kind of altitude, I like to park downhill so I can roll start if need be. Now all of that is moot if you rejet as soon as you get to altitude.
