Default Carb re jetting question

I did not drill out the slide when i rejetted. Some say it can improve throttle response but some say it could hurt it as well, over drilled?

It can cause a lean condition under certain conditions in cold weather ( Low RPM and rapid throttle opening). Also if you "overdrill" it, your slide will be hunting for the right position and will run poorly. I would suggest not to drill the slide.
