NEED Tuning Advice

I just moved to Colorado springs from Texas and need to tune my car to the elevation. My car is currently supercharged. Im running the HKS v3 kit. I am using the HKS flash editor that i got with the kit. Am i able to buy a e tune and run it on the flash editor or would i need to get the whole ecutek kit to adjust to altitude?

If you are boosted doesn't it not really matter?
Turbo's and SC's don't care about altitude they just work harder. (simplified of course)

The car has an atmospheric pressure sensor


That data is used by ecu to adjist tune for changes in altitude. Just like the intake air temp is used to adjust tune and various other sensors
