Exactly! A light lift will transfer the weight to the front wheels at turn-in and then you can quickly accelerate. No time wasted going to the brake and should shave off some time. A few of those could end up in a second quicker time.

You will probably have to experiment a little to see how much of a lift is required and for how long. I would suspect that with that setup too much of a lift could risk breaking the rear end loose due to the amount of engine braking combined with the gear ratio.
