Yes, it is not easy to do it.

My mechanic will do it on mine. But first I will instal a 440 air box with a performance air filter on it.

I'd take it to a mechanic to have that done. I'm doing my own ones on my car, but I've also spent £200+ on measurement tools so I can tell exactly what's happening when I make changes.

i see what you mean now ,
i have been to a few garages asking about my carburettor problems and most of them even did not know such thing as a carb did exist

(it was that bad honestly)

so what sort of a garage would take this type of job ?
and what would be the rough price for rejetting a carb and tuning it right for the performance ??

Find a local specialist, and not a lot for a single carb. If you want my advice, carry out any modifications to the engine, exhaust, etc, you're planning to, then take it to a rolling road and get it tuned to suit it all at once.
