tuned carburetor needs a different penalty and a slight need.
In its current state it's pretty much considered the same as speed limiter, a joke addon by the community. Despite the immense buffs it provides to his charge time, it also nerf's the hillbilly in his other most important area - his speed, which affects his feathering and catch up around a pallet.
4.4m/s killers all have an in chase ability they can use, to either ignore pallets completely, or catch up and pressure survivors in or out of chase.
Whilst hillbilly has an ability akin to this, his ability is designed around going in straight lines/at angles, which is why when you throw on tuned carburetor he suffers so greatly.
Reducing tuned carburetor's bonus to 12% and removing it's speed penalty, whilst also additionally giving it a 1.5/2 charge penalty (reverse of punctured muffler) to cooling rate would make it a very fair and valid very rare add-on. The 12% is equal to the charge penalty on his engravings add-ons, and the charge penalty is equal to the punctured muffler.
Used alone the proposed rework of tuned carburetor, would allow billy much more flexibility with his add-ons and different ways of stacking them, with proportional strength in chase.
I've been maining billy pretty hard, since I decided to learn him right before his rework and have been using him since. 12% charge speed is not that much, expecially when the engravings add-ons have that as a downside and people are willing to double stack them.
