FWIW, I did the Forgie mod, and my fueling, as recorded by the MOTEC ECU 
I have, went from 98% duty cycle or thereabouts to 70% or so, which is
very manageable. YMMV as mine is a RHD car, and the gains may be greater
(or less) than with a LHD car. Whatever, the difference is substantial,
and the cost and effort slight, so definitely worth a try.
