That's a big one. It's the only mod I have ever done to my car, aside from an occasional grill block. The car will almost always use more assist than can be made up with regen unless you limit it's use. This is also the only way I am able to keep my IMA light from coming on so I can pass inspection. If I left the IMA system alone to do it's thing it will set P1449 within a few miles.

You probably already know this, but when you do this mod it is very advantageous to add a relay powered by the brake switch that bypasses your switch so regen comes back online when you brake.
