It will make it easier to start, and possibly a little stronger across the range, if your rings are good.

Increasing the compression may give you a temporary increase in compression (therefore power), but you'll wear the rings a LOT faster also. It's a real balancing act that the Honda engineers seem to have gotten right the first time. Why mess with success?
