Carburetor to replace CIS?

[Hladun]

Has anyone had any experience with replacing a CIS system with an old fashion American 4 barrel carburetor. Something like the this Holley; http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/FMS/FMSC/0-80507-1.html

Of course this could only be done where emissions testing was not a problem.

The big advantage would be potentially a lot of power for very little cost and complexity.

you won't get much if any more power

I saw a setup like that aobut 30 years ago: central plenum chamber, individual tubes to the intake ports and a fat Holley carb on top.

As I recall the owner abandoned it and popped for Webers.

Tons of compromise in a single carb setup. That's not where you want to save money.

Different carb setup?

Good if it used for drag racing or in a sandbuggy. No low end.
