Doug:
While many of the cars run EFI there's no reason to worry about and engine that's normally aspirated. Follow Al's advice and bring a couple of smaller jets with you and adjust once in Denver. I come up from Oregon and sea level but I cheat since I added fuel injection to my big block. Another Oregonian who's come with me several times runs a normally aspirated 460 and he comes down several jet sizes when he makes the trip.
As Bob mentioned you can probably get by without doing anything to the carb other than being careful on starting. I originally had my ERA delivered in Denver (running a carb) and drove it back to Oregon for it's maiden (break in) voyage and didn't encounter any significant problems even when traveling up to 9000 feet.
Look forward to seeing you on the next trip in June. Definitely worth the trip.
