Modifying SU Carbs

I'm progressing fairly well with Spitfire's transformation from rolling wreck to budget racecar. I've been given a set of 1.5 inch SU's to throw on, which should work well with some of the other mods I've done.

I've heard a few people allude that you can do a few things to SU carbs to make them work better. Obviously setting them up correctly is the first step. Does anyone have any experience in tuning SU's and have any suggestions? I'm guessing that smoothing out some of the surfaces with a bit of sandpaper might improve the airflow for example.
