That is cool man i was in your shoes a couple of years ago so i unstood where u were coming from.
I was just not let anyone scare you into not trying to tune your self.
You can do it just make small changes and error to rich side , problem is many carbs out of the box have a very rich tune and to get them running good it takes some time.
I did see something in your picture that i thought i would mention .
I don't see a PCV system on the valve covers you should be running a pcv on one side of the engine and a breather on only one side for proper ventilation and ring oil control for the street.
I have the same valve covers on my stroker 440 and had to knock out the plug on the right side and add the correct grommet and pcv valve hose to manifold vacuum.
