Carb question

The carb itself isn't that bad, all the extra crap hanging on it can hurt perfromance though. If you want to keep a stock carb, pay the money for a Sterling and enjoy the tunability. There are a lot of options that really depend on your wallet and skill of tuning.

You can usually find used Holley 4 barrel carb and manifolds for sale used if you are looking to save a buck. But really, on the street a stock carb is fine. Even with minor stripping of emissions it will make 125-130 rwhp with a stock port engine.
