Obviously the power will be less but will the factory ECU recalculate , readjust for the lower compression
Uh, what? Engine/ECU does not know what to do with compression, it won't say blah for your compression change, or change injection for that matter. If anything it should not see any difference in air-fuel ratio either, if the same amount of fuel goes in, gets lit the same way, burns the same way.....just that it won't bang as violently because of less pressure. You will possibly loose some little smidgen of torque at lowest RPM's.
Factory ECU does not know jack about how much horsepower it puts out, or torque for that matter....(leads me to ask, does any ECU have this capability?).....I don't think the ECU will be doing any re-/adjustment regardless....I think it only corrects if you messed with the timing on the older distributor models. Now I guess if there is a dead injector and/or coil-on-plug it could possibly go in limp-mode, not sure tho.
