Car: Turbo Buick
Engine: 3.8 V6
it comes with a variety of rods, springs, jets, and needle&seats
which is basically what you need to strip tune your carb. head over to gainesville raceway and play with different jet sizes using the guide on the www.edelbrock.com page (edelbrocks and carters are the same thing) to optimize your trap speed.. the trap indicates the hp you are putting out.

I would say yes IMO it is worth the money, I played with it made a few changes, and I can notice a difference in my car.

Good Luck
