while it does make a slight difference in throttle response, the risks far outweigh the benefits if you are just doing it for the sake of doing it. remember, you'll be playing with those $100 slides and the chances of tearing them is much greater as you'll have to remove them from the bike to work on them.
my main interest in this was due to the fact that I "blip" the throttle on all of my downshifts and most of my upshifts, too, so timing the shift has become easier with the quicker response of the carbs.
