I'd say MFI is better when its all working properly, but if you want more than 220bhp then i'd go onto a programable EFI system like Omex.

You will never get the most out of any car running MFI, economy or power, because you cannot map the ignition timing or the fuelling.
In addition to that the metering units are older than some of you guys driving the cars and as such do not stay in tune for very long anymore! lol
