I disagree here. MAP-based EFI systems are the more reliable and accurate type. I
bet you have played w/alot of mustwangs (or most any ford) before as this is the
typical belief of those guys. Read about it at www.sae.org (Society of Automotive
Engineers). Ever wonder why the most advanced (factory or aftermarket) EFI setups
are ALWAYS map-based????

No - in fact - they error on the side of richness because being overly rich is
always better than getting anywhere close to lean - which melts engines down. I
don't see how going more rich can possibly help (nor do I see it in Jon's dyno
graph). Are any of you guys even using an A/F gauge?
