This is a good question, and most likely the answer is "It won't."
However, it will have a positive effect on your shooting characteristics. It will help the PID get back up to speed and stabilized, because it will increase the dampening in the system. Also if your shooter's RPM is off by some given amount of energy when a ball is fired, it will have a smaller impact on the shot.
On the other hand, the best advice I can give you is to increase the cycle rate of your PID and give the shooter more available power.
There are many ways to increase cycle rate, but only two ways to increase available power. Either gear the shooter to the power band of the motor you are using, or increase the amount of motors.
Hope that helps! (When in doubt, focus on gears and climbing)
