So that means that my car made 168 HP stock at sea level even when in reality it would not be putting that down to the wheels at our altitude.
The charger physically isn't able to make the same boost at our altitude so nothing can be corrected that does not exist.

No charger will, but forced air loses less % of power at altitude than an NA motor. Turbos and s/c were actually designed for use in piston powered aircraft motors to still have power at flying altitudes.
Example; when I was in Colorado Springs, an NA car would lose about 18% horsepower when compared to the same NA car at sea level. A turbo car would only lose about 5% and a supercharged car about 4-5%.
