Significantly more heat and faster warm ups (due to increased turbulence and swirl)
increased fuel mileage, about 2 mpg.
Loss of power.

I drove it this way for several months.
The gen7 Accord (2002-2007) K24 do that stock (the 2 intake valves only work from 2500 rpm up, at low speed only one really opens fully giving it turbulence an swirl conditions .
