It's a bit difficult to do good ABA testing with a mod like this, where the delay between runs and the cooling of the tires and drive train and changing ambient temps and wind would become big factors. But I thought it was associated with an mpg maybe. Felt the loss too when I went back to stock for emissions test. A 2 degree change is small, and therefore much safer. At most it will improve low rpm power very slightly, and assist pulse and glide driving technique more than typical light throttle acceleration. That's how I understood the mod. I might do it again this fall.

My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
