unlikely. the fuel economy would take a tiny hit at best. keep in mind that the air:fuel remains relatively constant throughout the powerband. the biggest issue is usually getting the air into the cylinder chambers since the camshaft on most cars is usually designed for low end torque. this is why Honda's VTEC is a thing; although, most people have no idea what it does because they have never sat in an S2000 or TypeR.

what would take the biggest hit is the emissions, but if you are messing with the ecu, emissions is probably not your concern.
