In many ways it's better.
Detroit started using TBI as a way of controlling the amount of fuel that is delivered to the engine. The sensors, computer and controls put on a TBI engine allow the manufacturers to deliver the minimum amount of fuel to run the engine without burning valves and pistons.
Carburetors typically deliver too much or not enough fuel and with a few exceptions, do not really deliver any more power. ---- Like red said, tbi, efi, is the way to go, although if your car is equiped with a carb, don't be placing a tbi unit where the carb was, there's much more to it than that, ECM computer, sensors, wiring harness, high volume fuel pump, distributor, ect. Better off just rebuiling the carb or buying a good reasonable edelbrock or holley OEM replacement. jr

How do you convert tbi to carb?
tbi engine top end is different from carb engine top end. on a carburated engine, the intake and heads use 90 degree angles for intake mounting bolts. on a tbi engine, the intake and heads use 75 degree angles for intake bolts. you can choose one of these three options: entire new engine. intake manifold designed for tbi heads but utilizes a carb mounting flange on top or tbi manifold to spread bore or square bore adapter
