Drilling Drums, has anyone ACTUALLY done it?

I saved the post from before, providing it still works. I have been thinking about drilling the drums on my 55 Fairlane for some added stopping power. It seemed that from that previous post, people said it made a HUGE difference in braking performance. Well, EVERY person I've mentioned it to thinks it is alot of shit, and doesn't think it will make any difference.
DOES IT really make a difference? I want to know before I waste my time and 5 drill bits on the process.

 

Yes,but only when you approach the absolute limits of the sysatem.You wouldn't notice in daily driving.I did a set once,they eventually cracked.Disc brakes for me.
