Trust me on this...

I tried it on an I-4, it didn't work, and used more fuel.

On later engines, the Fuel-Injection system (and oxygen sensor feedback loop) requires a pre-determined ratio. If you override this, it might benefit, but...

You'll have hot and cold spots and pumping losses. An engine swap is easier...
