Im considering riding Valkyrie from Minnesota to Las Vegas this June 2015 but im concerned about altitude changes, has anyone made this same trip or a similar one were you could offer some advice about altitude change and how the Valkyrie cards handle the changes? Thanks

Just for this one trip I wouldn't worry about. It'll run richer at higher altitudes and lose some power, but, shouldn't be an issue.

I have made several trips from 700 ft to over 12,000 ft  and back without changing anything.
Yes you can tell a difference, but nothing to worry about.

Typically within the US you are not that high for very long, usually just as you cross over the mountains.

Been in many altitudes all through-out the west, never a problem with any of our Valks.

I live at 7703 and ride all the high passes.  Never a problem.

From Alabama to the left coast through all sort of altitudes and no problem you probably won't notice a difference except at extreme hieghts.
