John---You are right in that taking a pressure test at this altitude
will show lower. Probably about 15% less than at sea level.

75 to 110lb. is still quite a difference among the cylinders. This can
cause an irregular 'pull' on the carburetors tho, and contribute to the
uneveness of your idle.  I don't see this in itself doing any further
damage to your engine. Enjoy the summer driving.
