it doesn't mater how good your buoyancy is, if you're moving around you will not stay absolutely horizontal - there'll always be some lateral vertical movement, so the gas will move from one side of the wing to the other side. UNLESS there's very little gas in the wing, in which case, how much difference is dumping it, going to make to your overall buoyancy anyway - not as much as the difference in gas flow from your lungs.
