It should be a bit easier w/ 6s/8s when they shut off a bank since they tend to have a oxygen sensor for each bank and maybe something post cat. Unhooking the post cat and deactivated bank sensors would probably result in thrown codes but it should still run at ~stoich via the feedback from the activated sensor/bank. I think knock sensors may also hurt efficiency by retarding timing but I'm not sure about that one. The best way to figure this out would be a test I suppose.
