There is no benefit to doing that. The O/2 sensors are going the see the extra fuel and reduce the pulse width back to original.

There really isn't much you can do and using a chip is illegal in most cases anyway. The manufacturer has optimized everything for the best efficiency. Chips can mess with timing and shift points but that would be considered emissions tampering. Even the cold air intake doesn't do a thing.
