Actually what their doing is putting a screw in the linkage forcing the 
secondary to open sooner. It sounds as if its got more umph, but is 
doesnt work quite that well. If you are drag racing, it might give you 
some sort of launching bonus but for street driving your better off 
just leaving it alone. By throwing the secondary wide open that fast, 
it doesnt give the fuel managment system time to meter out the proper 
amount of fuel. It takes a bit longer for the fuel system to sort 
things out to get the proper metering to the cylinders. Thats why the 
system is the way it is. Less power now and more power later! See how 
easy and fun that was?
