You will get better performance if you meet all the following 
conditions:

1) You understand carbs well enough that you can work out the re-
jetting necessary to get the carbs to work properly with YOUR 
engine.

2) You don't mind the time that 1) takes.

3) You don't mind the extra pollution that results.

4) You understand that there will be extra costs to this process 
and you don't mind paying them (fuel pump, throttle cable, jets....)
