I always like the idea of a different drivetrain on Ecomodder. Because I lost my cruise-control when I went "one-size-up" on my tires [EDIT:] with a taller 5th gear, I wonder if a(n even small) change in gearing would screw with the programming logic of the "3-cylinder-mode". I just don't know. I think that's a Honda mechanic question.
