Faster racket speed for kick serves?

[New Daddy]

The first thing that I hear about kick serves that are used as second serves is that you should not slow down the racket.
That lead me to wonder whether you should not only not slow down, but actually accelerate more for kick serves than flat serves.
With a kick serve, the momentum of the racket will give as much vertical vector to the ball as horizontal vector.
If the vertical vector will bring the ball down into the service box and provide a higher margin of error, can you afford to swing the racket even faster than with a flat serve, so that the loss of pace as compared with a flat serve is minimized?

I was always told to hit my kick serve as hard as my first serve to generate top spin so not sure who is saying otherwise, i could be wrong but it was my impression you should not be slowing down your swing with the kick serve
