My experience with computer controlled engines was an actual loss in mileage. thought being that the plugs burned more efficiently than the computer was programmed for. the computer read a lower level of unburned hydrocarbons.. net result computer assumed a leaned out condition and cycled the injectors longer to add more fuel. But... I had very good luck on a pre computer 390 cubic inch engine in a 3/4 ton truck. adding splitfires a k+N filter and upgraded coil, I got up to 17 miles per gallon. the splitfires are best on engines that have issues with combustion, they help to make sure combustion is achieved. I did not notice any increase in power.
