It's not really a hop up mod. It's a half ass way to fix a hopeless chokeless carb problem. We had some lame technicians at the dealership "fix" a few B11's that way, after they were unsucessful at rebuilding the carb. What you are actually doing is setting the mixture control solenoid to "full rich", and therefore covering up all of the hesitations and flat spots from the dirty clogged carb. What they did not realize [or care about], is that in this condition, the car would loose about 10 mpg, and soon enough, those cars came back with melted catalytic converters. The best solution is to simply rebuild the carb the right way, and keep your 35 mpg.
