I was just thinking about how all the aftermarket injection systems all use vacuum signal which can cause problems with wild cams. How come nobody is using a Mass Air Flow sensor? It can't be that complicated. Famous last words.

All the systems I can think of can be configured to use either a MAP sensor or MAF. Most discussion is about MAP sensors because they're simple, easy to fit, and will work on any car that has a reasonable vacuum signal. That means they're the better option for most cars, and especially for cars being upgraded from carburetors. But if you have a MAF system in place you should still be able to use it with a progammable EMS, as long as you don't change the engine's VE much to take it out of the MAF's flow range.
