THe real improvement must come with the gearing change. At 50 MPH I only use 1/4 turn of the throttle at 75 MPH this is 3/8 turn. So I am running in an absolute bad region of the BSFC map. Also according to HUcho in some cases an improvement of Cd can lead to a lower FE.
It should bring an improvement no matter the gearing. But you should realize a larger improvement once your new transmission is setup and functioning correctly.
