I'm glad you didn't crash but this is not the best technique for maximizing traction. Applying loads of throttle (especially while leaned) eats traction. Applying steering corrections mid turn eats traction. Doing both at the same time could cause you to take a bigger bite then you bargained for.

You want just enough throttle to gradually increase your speed (shifting weight to the rear to balance suspension) through the turn. If you have to make a steering correction so be it but don't pin the throttle at the same time.
