Well, a trick that has been around for a while is to create a bypass
tube around the MAF, or enclose the MAF into a slightly larger housing
(tube is certainly a lot easier!), then increase the injector size
appropriately.  Of course, at higher RPMs this is fine, as the computer
is clueless as to the air bypass and the larger injectors, so it sees
the "right" readings and chugs away.  However, at idle, it will run like
crap, unless you are within say, 5-7% of the stock injector/airflow
sizes.  I haven't played with too many ECMs, just the Syty (749), the
Camaro (730) and the Buick V6 (748, I think).  The Syty was the most
tolerant, however its also a turbocharged vehicle, so there are other
variables as well.  I found the Ford EEC-IV was very tolerant of larger
injectors as well as a paxton, but I know you don't want to hear about
that :)
