Like most everything else it is not that one is faster than the other, it depends on the setup. It has a lot to do with the efficiency of the ports/combustion chamber. Less efficient heads are going to do better with carbs. At least this is what I have seen on the dyno on multiple hemis. carbs one hands down every time. Of course at the the time I learned this, I was working with a very respected engine builder/tuner and this is how he explained it. Makes sense. Then again, I am not quite as sold on him as an efi tuner as I am him as an engine builder and carb tuner...
