Hypothetically, would it be possible to tune a car to get better milage than what it came with from the factory? Lower the boost, take out some fuel?

Why do you want to increase the base FP if you don't need it at WOT? If you're running lean at WOT, that will help. The ecm will correct the A/F in closed loop to some extent.
