Make no mistake... This is the best fuel injection system available. All the benefits of a MASS AIR fuel injection system with the vintage look of a 4bbl carburetor. It is NOT A SPEED DENSITY SYSTEM like other similar systems. It uses production (not aftermarket) mass air engine management, for years of trouble-free service and production car quality driveabilty, while providing real performance benefits over a carburetor or a speed density system.
Why our system? Here's why!
Don't settle for empty promises, GET REAL RESULTS! The other companies make it sound as if it's a benefit to have the ability to "tune" their systems. It's NOT a benefit... IT'S A HASSLE! The reality is, programmable speed density EFI systems are not much more efficient than a 4 bbl carburetor. You're punching keys on a computer, rather than turning screws and changing jets and springs in a carburetor. The end result is an expensive system, that cost almost as much money to get tuned properly as the initial cost of the system. And where is the advantage? They require constant laptop fiddling to keep running properly. You could have gotten that with a carburetor! They are a little more efficient than a carburetor, but not enough to justify the cost. The only thing worse than a programmable speed density system, (besides a carburetor), is a NON-programmable speed density system. Non-programmable speed density systems only work on bone stock or specific applications. Non-programmable (or non user-programmable) systems are factory calibrated to a specific engine, with a specific combination of parts. They have no provision to account for variances such as engine modifications (even minor ones!), vehicle specifics, or atmospheric conditions. The result is, they just do not work very well.
Our MASS AIR system does it all for you, and provides REAL PERFORMANCE BENEFITS over a carburetor or speed density system. It is by far the most user-friendly and most effective aftermarket fuel injection system on the market. Get improved power and torque as well as improved fuel economy, performance and reliability. Unlike programmable speed density systems, you will never need to tune this system. No laptop, no hand-held programmer, no tuning or tweeking, no dyno! This saves you the hassle and expense of tuning and trips to the dyno. When it comes time to make further engine mods, chances are you will not need to change a thing on our system. If you plan to make LARGE gains in horsepower, and you need to change your injector size, just return the air meter, and we will recalibrate it for you, rather than retuning, reprogramming, and more trips to the dyno. Our system is even easier to use than a carburetor. You need to tune a carburetor. With our system, you just install it, and you're done!
So how does it work?
Any naturally aspirated engine, regardless of brand, size, combination of parts, etc., requires a given air/fuel ratio, at a given load. These ratios do not change from engine to engine, until you get into forced induction applications. (We'll get to that later). The needed air/fuel ratio changes with such things as engine temperature, air temperature, and atmospheric pressure, but the needed changes, again, are the same for all engines. The task for any management system is to add the correct amount of fuel to the amount of air that the engine uses. Carburetors do it mechanically, and so, are mechanically limited as to how accurate they can be. Speed density systems do it by comparing the readings from various sensors to tables within the engine controller to try to determine the amount of air the engine is using. This actually works very well, IF THE VALUES IN THE TABLES ARE CORRECT, and there lies the challenge. There are a lot of values, and a lot of tables, and a professional tuner is required to enter the correct values into all of those cells in all of those tables. But you are not done there! The next step is to drive the vehicle in the real world, and adjust all of those values to tune out all of the drivability issues you will have. The other problem is speed density's limited ability to self adjust, and so, your laptop must permanently reside in the passenger's seat. Worse than that, non-programmable, or pre-programmed speed density systems arrive at your door with the programming done. They have been pre-tuned at the manufacturer on the dyno with a pre-determined combination of parts on a specific engine. That would be great, but remember the part where this does not really work very well in the real world? Well, with these systems, you can't even fix it! Even worse, if you want to make a change to your engine, you simply can't.
Mass-Flo does it differently. There is a Mass Air Flow Meter Hidden away inside your air cleaner. This meter can actually measure the amount of air that is entering your engine, and again, if you know how much air the engine is using, then you just add the correct amount of fuel. It's that simple. The air/fuel ratio is adjusted accordingly to compensate for the load, and variances in engine temperature, air temperature, and atmospheric pressure by reading values from sensors that are included in the system. If you decide to make improvements to your engine, Mass-Flo simply adapts to those changes. Keep in mind... An engine is just a big air pump. Changing heads, camshafts, intakes, exhaust systems, displacement, etc., are just ways of making your air pump more efficient, or in other words, using more air. Since Mass-Flo measures the amount of air the engine is using, it simply adds the correct amount of fuel. With speed density, it's back to the dyno to start all over again.
In forced induction applications, the ratios are different, and a different tune is needed. We also have a tune to cover those applications. In fact, Mass-Flo can be adapted just about anywhere. If you want something made custom, let us know. We can do dual quads, and other applications where two Mass Air Meters are required. In all cases, no tuning is ever required by the customer.
There's one other thing we should mention... Speed density relies heavily on the signal from the MAP (manifold air pressure) sensor to determine how much fuel to add. This sensor measures the engine's vacuum at the manifold. So what happens when your camshaft produces poor vacuum? You guessed it... Horrible drivability is the result. Mass-Flo does not use a MAP sensor. You can use any camshaft you want with our system.
Custom tuning available.
I know what you are thinking... We just told you that the system does not require tuning, so why are we offering it? The answer is... some customers want custom features, so we offer this as an option. For example... The computer's pre-set rev limit is 6250 RPM. Some customers may want this changed. We can make the computer run an electric cooling fan if you'd like. It can run coil packs, or coil-on-plug systems. We can even create a program with two distinctly different "tunes". For example, you could have your daily driver "tune", and another one for the valet that will limit the engines RPM. There are many possibilities. Give us a call to discuss your needs.
System includes:
* Four barrel Intake manifold for your application. Many systems have a choice of intakes. Please call to discuss your application.
* Our own custom 1000 CFM 4bbl throttle body. It features all aluminum and stainless steel construction, sealed ball bearings on the throttle shafts, and progressive linkage. Comes complete with idle control motor and throttle position sensor. This is absolutely the finest 4 bbl throttle body on the market!
* Jumbo fuel rails and mounts. Rails have 9/16" diameter bores providing excellent flow and dampening characteristics.
* Our custom compact high flow mass air meter (Patent pending). The air meter is concealed within the air cleaner of your choice to maintain the vintage look!
* Complete stand alone wiring harness. This high quality harness allows easy installation of EFI into any vehicle without connecting to your existing harness.
* Production mass air computer.
* Eight high quality fuel injectors. Standard sizes are 19, 24, 30, 36, or 42 pound/hr flow rate. Larger sizes are available at extra cost. These fuel injectors are held to much closer tolerance than typical production injectors. We will help you choose the correct size for your application.
* All needed sensors. Most of the sensors are mounted right on the injection system for a simple install. No crank sensor to complicate the process!
* High performance billet aluminum distributor complete with ignition module. Our entire ignition system is contained within the distributor and ECM. Just install the distributor and plug it into the harness. No spark boxes to install!
* High performance coil, with heat sink/mounting bracket.
* Base gasket, throttle cable bracket, assorted hardware and fittings necessary for the installation, PCV valve, instructions.
All of these components are absolutely the best quality available. Unlike the competition, we will never sell you something that is "good enough" just because it costs less to produce.

Hey Chris,
Just wanted to get back to you. I am truly impressed. Not only did I gain substantial horsepower and torque, but I also gained much more drivability. The idle is smooth, no more surge, the accelerator is like butter and the response when you step on it is instant. I will say this, "Incredible gain for little money." This was the right thing to do
Jim M.

I made big changes to my engine this past week. I am proud to say that I'm done and extremely happy. Here's what I added:
-AFR 165 Heads
-Scorpion 1.72 Roller Rockers
-4" Ford Racing black chrome valve covers
"Mass-Flo" Fuel Injection System
-Ford Racing chrome oval air cleaner
-Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator
-Hurst Line Lock
I just want to profusely thank Chris from Mass-Flo EFI. He helped me through this entire project. Without him I could not have done it. This guy is really a great resource for anyone here. His products are number 1, and I wouldn't think of making any changes from here on in without talking to Chris 1st. His new system is really, really amazing. All of the problems I had before are now gone. No more stalling, smooth throttle, incredible drive, and WOW, holy power! What a sound too! Completely different that my previous setup.

I wanted to get the "Mass-Flo" system installed and tested before the annual "Snakes To The Lake" trip we take every year to Lake Tahoe. I feel this would be a great test for the system, going from sea level to 9,000 ft. and back in a three day period.
When everything arrived, I was quite pleased with the workmanship and quality of the product. The instructions were clear, but who needs those anyway, it was time to get busy! Once everything was installed, I fired it up. No hesitation and no stumbles during warm up. The system was better than my Cobra intake in that it didn't want to "hunt" when cold. Once the engine got warmed up, it was great! Lot's of power, good throttle control, and the idle speed was great. No more hunting at idle! When you hit the secondaries, you know it! It just wants more! I never got that with the Cobra intake.
The trip to Tahoe was great. NO PROBLEMS! NO ISSUES! NO NOTHING! This system works GREAT! Driving up the mountain highways, the engine ran without problems. Every one thousand foot marker I stomped down on the throttle just to see what it would do. It pulled and pulled until I ran out of engine! Pushing the car through a lot of twisty's and hill climbs and downhill runs, it didn't miss a beat. In fact, I didn't even think about what was under the hood anymore, it just worked flawless. .
As a side note, I got over 22mpg. on the trip. I put over 650 miles on the system and was tickled to get that kind of mileage. Remember that a lot of the driving was well over 5,000 ft. for three days while driving the car hard at times and in the 3k to 6k rpm range quite a bit. Mileage in the Sierra's was over 17mpg! I'm sure some of you carburetor users know what it's like when you're at 9,000 ft. and your engine won't run right. There were a few cars on this trip with that issue. I didn't have any problems with the "Mass-Flo" system. Thanks Chris.
