rhagfo,
Yes OP has around 360hp at sea level. But at 7000' if that is the summit elevation, he is around 250 at flywheel, then deduct another 15-20% for drivetrain loss, he is down around 170-200 hp at the rear wheels. Hence why non induction motors are not as good at elevations as forced induction motors. He has lost over 100hp at that elevation, ALL DUE to elevation.
Locally in the lower coastal mtn ranges like OR and Wa have, or even the cascades where if you are over 5000', you are high up. he would probably be doing in the 45-50 range with out as many issues.
