Converting it to FI would be costly. I would suggest having the carb rejetted by a decent mechanic if you don't want to do it yourself. But if you are planing on changing the pipes I would hold off until that is done.

Would buying a better carb be a good option?

The factory carb is decent if it is set up properly. Out of the box they are lean to EPA standards. Then when your pipes were changed it probably got worse. A new carb is not necessary IMO.
