83' 2.8 carb need help!

I have an early 83' 2.8 lc1 engine with a computer controlled Rochester 2 barrel carb.
The car stalls some times when giving it gas, and has slow response to the pedal.
If I try to floor it from a dead stop or rolling slowly it craps out and dies.

What are my options as far as upgrading the carb and intake manifold? If I'm going to replace it I would like to add power to my daily driver.
Any help will be much appreciated!

Moving this to the V6 forum. I know you have a carb, but the guys on the Carburetor forum are more V8 oriented. You should get better help here.
