The Roush Carburetors that we have seen have been fine for street use, (mostly Holley Avengers ) --by no means state of the art,-

I am sure there are many things that can be done , the removal of the choke air horn and the milling and smoothing off of many small components are , and can lead to horsepower increases. this is the thing ;

100ths add up to make tenths, ,tenths add up to full seconds , - full seconds make your day.

now -- carburetors and their castings are much like cylinder heads, porting and polishing can lead you to the power at the top of the envelope.

However, do remember that increases in overall peak flow can hurt you 'down below in the lower rev ranges. The ranges of revs that are usually used to get the car stuck in traffic, used for waiting in line at IN-N-OUT or something similar.

Decide what you want to use the car for, and tune to that spec.
