Worth milling choke horn?

Is it worth the work to mill the choke horn off of my 4777 650dp carb? I can do it on a brideport, but I'm wondering if it is worth the effort. Also should I just mill it off flat, or contour it inbetween the primaries and the secondaries like the hp carbs have? Pics of someone whose done this would be a great help. Thanks, Brandon. Also, how many horsepower would I gain approx? G-teched my car yesterday, came up with 95.7mph, 16.05 et, and 195 rwhp. I'm thinking that it isn't right?
The specs are:
306
D0oe-c windsor cast heads fully ported, chambers polished 1.84,1.54 valves
kb .200 dome pistons
stock rods and crank with arp bolts
280/285 advertised, 230/232 @.050, .550/.550 lift, and a 110 lsa hydro roller cam
weiand stealth intake
Timing at 14 intital and 34 total to avoid pinging
92 octane, non-oxygenated gas, best I can get here, will not run on 89 without pinging
Plugs are autolite racing AR-33
650 dp, with 68,76 jets
1.5" primary headers, and 2" dual exhaust
4-speed, 2.79 gears.
