They were promoting it on a car show on the Velocity channel and I thought it looked interesting.

This is the new name of the old Mass-Flo EFI brand.  I purchased the older system, i think in 2009 for my 482.  At that time, it used a standard Ford A9L ECU from '88-'92 mustangs that came preprogrammed for your stated application.  It also came with a Mallory FE distributor that had been nicely modified to mount the Ford TFI ignition module to it.  At that time, the "tune" could not be accessed or modified by the end user unless you bought a device called the Quarterhorse from another manufacturer.  It sounds like the programming is far more accessible now and it appears that the TFI module is not mounted in the distributor anymore, where it had well known heat issues.

That being said, i never got my system to work properly.  Not blaming Mass-Flo at all, but as a former electrical engineer with all the diagnostic tools the world at my disposal, i expected to have better luck.  Again, i do think it was and is a good system, but not for me.  There is at least one user of the older system that frequents this site. Worked well for him.

I went with FAST.  I was able to use the intake, injectors, rails and throttle body that i already had fortunately.

One more word.. There is NO SUCH THING as plug-n-play.  Certainly not with an FE with a big cam anyway.  Anyone who says differently is badly uninformed.

One more thing.  Remember that this system uses a MAF sensor to directly sense air flow and subsequently calculate fuel needs, whereas almost every other aftermarket EFI system uses a manifold vacuum sensor to infer engine load and thus calculate fueling requirements.  Each system has its merits.  However, keep in mind that the MAF sensor needs to be mounted on top of the throttle body and with a Victor intake, we're taking about a fairly tall package.  Probably not a problem for most cars, but i probably would've needed a pro-stock hood scoop for my Cobra. 

Now, with Jay's intake adaptor, one could come up with some very cool EFI induction options... That's on my to-do list!

I do not have experience with it  but over at the Mustang forum there has been a lot of discussion on it. It seems highly regarded with the Windsor guys.
