The FMC fuel calcs do not take account of configuration - esp non-standard ones. So the fuel predictions will be derrived from tables based upon a clean a/c at whatever alt/speed/conditions(ISA dev etc) you tell the FMC you will fly at.

Best example was the A310 a few years ago which landed short after a gear down flight that the FMC could not calculate for.
