Ya know, before you guy's get to carried away with your gut feelings and cylinder deactivation, you might want to research some older threads which have pretty thouroghly hashed all of this out, previously.

In short, unless you can find some way to disable the valves, just shutting off the fuel flow is not going to make any improvement. If anything it is just going to cost you more, to have it run worse. If you are going to do anything, you need to have something like a VTEC, where you can switch to a second cam profile, which doesn't open the intake or exhaust valves. Anything you are trying to do, otherwise, is most likely going to waste your time and money. MO, FWIW
