If your only requirement is the most power for the least money, then yes the carburetor is the best way.
If you have other requirements, then you'll have to look into each method closer.

Re: comparing carbs, tpi, tbi, and q-jet

for "carb vs tpi" or "carb vs efi" or even "tpi vs tbi" and you'll find your answers. Its been argued about forever and the horse has long since been beaten dead.
