Okay yea in that case you should lose fuel economy if you change the maps, because having more overlap should increase your fuel economy assuming you don't have a misfire problem.

Unfortunately, as I'm finding out with my own car, tuning valve overlap is very tricky because you really don't know how much exhaust gas is flowing backwards into the intake and thus you don't know how the optimal ignition timing is affected.
