Yes, under normal driving conditions. But in a wide open throttle situation, I would expect that you would drop out of closed loop into an open loop condition. Then wouldn't the fuel and ignition values revert to the preprogrammed base values? If so, the extra fuel delivered due to fooling the sensors would not be counteracted by the O2 sensor? Just hypothysising here.

It's a Wonderful Day for Science!
