I really don't see how the car would be any wiser. It looks at intake temps and during WOT uses a predefined map of how much fuel to use and ignores the O2 sensors. Unless it looks at the RPM and says "hey the car is accelerating faster than it should be" I don't see how it would know that its making more power than normal.
It was an idea that I had, I did it, I came back with the evidence. Now its your turn to decide what you do with that information.
However I can't stress how important O2 wideband would be.
