I would wager that this would most definatly work. I have heard a few people trying this and unleashing another 20 bhp and 40 lbft torque INSTANTLY

on the other hand

no it dosnt work, the SV has only 70 bhp anyway, so if it has any restriction in the lower gears it wont be by much and you wouldnt notice a thing.

You can smooth out the fueling and throttle response for a FI sv by: getting a power commander or similar product and having the mapping adjusted to iron out any dips in the power curve from the dyno, and also by having your throttle bodies synchronised and I beleive, at least on the earlier FI models, fiddling about with the Throttle Position Sensor (there is a thread on here about it).

It is possible to gain a relativly (!!) easy 10 bhp in an SV (giving you about 80) but your money is best spent on higher quality suspension parts, some upgraded brakes (or even just a brake service!) and time in the saddle.
