Since the JB2 performs similarly, I would guess it works similarly.
i do not know about procede, or sst, but the Juice box tunes do keep the altitude correction factor intact - i am certain of this fact. as terry (juice box owner) explained it to me, stock psi = 8.5psi, Max altitude correction = 3 psi. total both and you get 11.5psi at high altitude from the stock ecu. the juice box then adds psi on top of that.

if you are at altitude and use a juice box, depending on the juice box tune, it adds another X psi to the 11.5psi the ecu gives u at altitude.

if you are at altitude, and want more info, may i suggest you starting a high altitude thread. i say this because i wish i had alot of info re altitude in one thread when i started my study of this subject a few months ago.

cheers
