It REALLY depends on how necessary it is. As a last resort for a car you're about to push off a cliff then why not? Every-time I've ever tried this in a multi-point fuel injected car it has resulted in massive backfire/fireball and can cause serious damage to plastic/aluminum/rubber components on the intake side.

What happens if you race the engine while starting it?

well , it depends on your engine type .. If you are using an older vehicle (an engine without MPF-i (fuel injection)) , nothing will happen , the car will just burst to a start , that is all.. But if you are using an engine with MPFi/Fuel injection , it may damage your fuel pump , so it is recommended that you start the vehicle on idle. unless if your car is not starting , you may need to step on the accelerator just a bit .. note : If you are having a K-Series Engine , The engine may quickly jump to 6000 rpm if you raise the engine while starting , and that may damage your emission and fuel injection systems
