Is there any trick to it?On my 3310, I drilled holes in the primary butterflies to facilitate idle tune, and it worked. Am I likely to need to do the same to a DP? If so, would I drill both primary and secondary butterflies? You guys are going to get real tired of me asking DP questions  ------------------

I would not drill anything yet Todd.
Try it our with a 5.5 or 4.5 PV first.------------------

Todd, you can also turn the carb upside down and adjust a little more opening in the secondaries with the small set screw in the back if you need a tad more airflow after the PV change. I'd try the PV first though. I will admit to drilling the butterflies in the past, but that little adjustment screw is there if you need it. ------------------
