Scott,   all new cars take a barometric pressure reading during the time it 
takes for you to turn your ign key from off to crank.  The engine management 
computer also takes a reading any time you need to floor the throttle pedal 
to accelerate.  This compensates for changes in altitude that effects engine 
power output due to the air ratio decreasing in O2.   I would have to say 
yes, baro has a direct bearing on carb setups.   Hope this helps,   Tony
