DFCO? Dual Fuel Cut Off?

The main concern is that it's on a straight four. I understand the balance issues, but when it's cut off properly, it really doesn't make much of a difference.

It's actually really funny to post this on the prelude website. You get people arguing ''Why do this?! Where's the power?!''. Don't need 100Hp when you're going down a hill.. Seriously.

But there shouldn't be any problems with this? I've talked to a lot of people who say it's a bad idea, including a repair technician who's been at it for a while, but don't know what will happen. I'll even admit, it does sound hard on the engine, but I don't see what would cause any problems, aside from a lack of power, the potential for warping/temperature difference, and the running rich condition. I think I said lean up there somewhere (oops). Sadly, I can't run the fuel cutoff right now anyways. My engine is just dying on me.
