So, yes; "much inproved CIS fuel injection" . . but at a cost of a more broadly rev-range tuned motor.
MFI still compensates for altitude/pressure and has a warm-up circuit, so there shouldn't be much difference between the calculated airflow and actual airflow. If anything it would be lean because the air leaks in worn throttle bodies let more air in.
