yes and no. If you can get away with using less hp then yes, because the engine is burning extra air for "free." If you still need more HP (under acceleration) no it stays the same.

Of course if you are highway cruising at constant speed its going to be advantageous.
I'd like to just take out two pistons once i get up to cruising speed, but i haven't figured out how to do that yet.
