Carb to EFI swap.. worth it?

I'm thinking about pickin up a 85 5speed gt.. How are the stock carbs on these cars.. And would it be worth it to swap to efi.. Or just upgrade the carb and intake??

leave it carb. It is easier to make power that way cheaper, especially since the car is already carbed.
