That's not even a wise assumption, let alone set in stone. Part of the extra output is from the extra displacement, the rest must therefore be from greater efficiency.
Obviously the extra displacement shouldn't have to work as hard, anyone could claim that, but relevant experience shows that even with the extra displacement, the other changes to increase power can help MPG once you find what cruise RPM it wants.
I'd ditch the whole thing, let some kid pimp it out or whatever, and choose anything but a Honda.
