Carb guys...milling the choke horn off?

I'm thinking about milling the choke horn off my Holley, and i'm looking for some opinions and tips from anyone who's done it.

My main concern here is that i'm using the stock '85 duel snorkel air breather, and with its drop base setup, the lid is really close to the top of the choke horn. I'm dead set on using this breather setup, so i'm curious if milling the choke will 1) improve flow and mainly 2) improve throttle response.

Secondly, i did a search and found a guy who said a carb with a milled choke will always run lean because the air bleeds aren't calibrated for the improved air flow. Is that true and should i worry about it?

I know buying a new main body like the Proform would be an easier option since it has screw in air bleeds and is already chokeless, but it's not in the budget. Lastly, i'm not worried about the lack of a choke, as i don't have a choke plate in the horn anyways and i never have starting issues, even in cold weather (just goose it a few times and it idles just fine).

Yeah i searched a few times and found a lot of mixed reviews. Some say better throttle response and low speed acceleration, some say complete waste of time. One guy said it causes a constant lean condition which makes no sense to me.

Either way i went ahead and did it so i hope it at least doesn't hurt anything. I already had the choke removed so i think if anything i'll get better response from the primaries since my breather has been so close to the horn. I've gotta do a little more work on it and then i'll post up pics.
