We drove to the top of Mauna Kea (the one with the observatories, anyway) in a Hertz 3 cyl Geo Metro sedon. It took a while.

I've usually found that the biggest problem with high elevations is my own altitude sickness rather than the car's!
Even with fuel injection, I remember having my minivan floored while going up the last bit of Pikes Peak many years ago. Once we got out, even a small uphill climb was quite a chore.
For the GMC, I think that converting to fuel injection would be a whole lot easier in the long run.
