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.

Yeah I think you're right about that. Do you know which carb hat has worked best in the past? Hood clearence is also an issue. It's not the hat itself, but the end of the hat from the pipe that comes into it.
