why would carbs be better?? simple: tuning.  carbs are easier to tune than EFI (cheaper too, obviously).  In addition to that, no more clunky/ restrictive manifold, or intake piping.  you can run a virtually direct intake system like the one DSC shows, and with the individual throttle body setup you've got better engine response.

the other alternative to such a setup is a complete standalone system.  as we all know, that costs major $$$$.  

finally, NA power is "better" than turbo power. better response, better/ more predictable powerband, better sound... etc etc.

anyways, misnomer is right, AFAIK.  you'd either have to swap to an SOHC, or custom build a manifold.  thinking about it, i should have gone with a custom system and custom built a manifold with ITB's instead of turbo'ing (although I would have stayed with fuel injection... but i have a whole different theory waiting to be tested for handling fuel mapping).  oh well... too late for that for now.
