Probably no benefit if the stock one is working right.
Computer can't change fuel pressure,but your o2's will correct for over lean/rich if the fuel pressure make's it run rich/lean but only within it's fuel map.
Call Madwolf and see if he has an answer as to why it is running rich 'cause he knows how it is set.

I think it's suppose to be 39 with hose on and 45 or so with hose off.Been so long since I fooled with a stock set up I don't remember exactly.
There are several sensors that will cause it to run rich at idle like the TPS.
