D-Jet FI does not work very with a (carb type) cam that has overlap....i.e. a cam that will have partial openings on more than one valve. So the cam for FI is very mild. Modified cams for FI are available but tend to need FI tweaking and will cause the engine to fail the sniffer test for smog....ask me how I know.....%^B

No one ever said that carbs won't work, just that there is no performance advantage of simply adding carbs to a stock cammed T-4 motor. which was your original question.

BTW....NEVER let anyone talk you into converting to hydraulic lifter/cams....do a search on the subject.
