You should check your voltage with the alternator connected vs disconnected. Running at a lower voltage will severely impact how the ECU, fuel pump and ignition system behave. I think the lower voltage big negative effect. You would need to find a way to maintain 14v under load with the alternator disconnected to see real FE benefits.
