Then something is wrong.
Back when my car was blowthrough I drove it frequently, even in stop and go traffic between the central valley and the bay area quite a few times (one of those 90 miles in 3 hour trips.) My carb worked fine, A/C on, in 100 degree heat.
A good blowthrough carb will drive and perform very well. It won't have as good of economy as EFI but driveability and and power should not be an issue with a properly setup blowthrough carb.
A poor hat will kill driveability and tuneability because of poor and uneven airflow distribution even if you have the best carb prep in the world.
I would strongly suggest trying a good hat as the next logical step and from there move onto looking closer at the carb. A carb hat isn't that much money and might solve your problems.
