This could very easily be done with a mega squirt standalone computer. Tuners have base curves for nearly every vehicle out there and can custom tune your computer to what you want to do. Meaning more power when you need it, along with more efficient idling and less fuel while crusing. Their site talks about the fact that most OEM's tune their cars (especially turbo cars) to run rich as a way to keep combustion temps down. Alot of DSM guys see big power gains and huge jumps in FE just gfrom a proper dyno tune.
