The PCM is programmed to manage the engine a certain nunber of times per second using data collected from the sensors. It can make as many corrections as needed in each cycle with no problems. It won't do any more or any less. The PCM's primary goal in life it to keep the AF mixture within certain perameters at given RPM, load, boost, temp, etc. If you can get more air into the engine, the PCM can't spit it back out, it has to do what it does to make the AF ratio right. More fuel, air = more power. There is no horsepower meter, torque meter or anything else that the PCM reads and reduces HP if it sees too much. It just tries to keep AF within programmed parameters. Can you get more boost? Great! It knows you need more fuel to keep the AF ratio right, based on sensor data, up the the maximum duty cylce of the injectors. When it can no longer make enough correction is when you go lean and start blowing things up. If the PCM had a HP readout we would not need a dyno, just plug into the PCM and tune. Don't give the PCM credit for more than it can do.
