-more power = you don't need a super hand tuned engine

Look at the A mains of 200mm and 1:8 TR - in the EC or WC - not even those guys can keep the engine running for 45 or 60 minutes. Or make a 5 minute qualification run... very often these days the lucky ones win, not the best drivers...

C'mon... for electrics we now have brushless and lipo, it's time to move on also for fuel classes. Those carburettors are vintage!!!
not cost much?
so you need

fuel pump
throttle body
injector
some form of meetering device
electronics if its not a mechancial system

ok so you ot £50 for a carb, you do that for the same money
