I do have pix and can take measurements for you to compare.

In order: cost, availability of parts, and easier to tune without using a computer.

Yes, I daily drive it.
It's much better for low speed stuff like autocross or short road course. You don't have any lag compared to high power turbo cars.
For handling, I can't honestly say if I notice any difference. That may actually be a good thing.
The nicest thing is being able to accelerate in any gear without bogging or waiting to build boost.
The difference between my setup and an LS1 is that my torque comes earlier, and my throttle response is better than a stock LS1.
True that LS1 ultimately revs higher and makes more power, but for low speed stuff, which is most of what I do, I feel that my carb gives me better car control.
