In order to get book performance, you will need to verify that you are
getting
correct manifold pressure and fuel flow on every takeoff. If the
system is
not in good repair, it could easily not give takeoff power at 9000'.

Takeoff distance will still be quite a bit longer than lower
elevations. And
you need to use accurate speeds for landing... it will look really
fast out
the window.

We practice at Leadville, CO elevation 9927' 6500 feet length.
