You shouldn't have any problems with a Gearstar 700R4, they're pretty beefy. I have one in my truck that I treat (as in beat) like some magazine editor that gets his parts for free and it just won't break.
I wouldn't be in a big hurry to ditch the TBI in favor of a carb. You can make better top end horsepower ( that you'll hardly ever use) with a carb over a stock TBI, but you'll loose fuel mileage, altitude compensation, and short cold-start warm-ups. A good chip like a Jet, or something is a simple way to increase performance.
