It doesn't seem to me that you need to do anything. If you're really concerned about running too rich at that altitude you could bring along another carburetor that has been set [ re-jetted] to run a tad leaner. Just install it once there if there is an issue.

I think I'd be a bit more concerned about stopping that monster if you end up in some real 'hills'. And, making sure there is not any indication there could be an overheating issue.
