This is actually rather poor tech information. His car does not NEED a calibrated maf. However it is the easiest and fastest way to make the car run.
My opinion on this matter is that you SHOULD get it tuned. Regardless of whether or not YOU think it runs ok. A tune will allow you to run literally any maf on the market, with any injector that is compatible with the pcm. A prime example of this is my car. I had trouble dialing in my fuel injector slopes, so I hooked up my stock maf and adjusted the slopes to their proper setting. Once that was done, I hooked my HPX maf back up, and tuned the MAF transfer function.
So yes, for about 3 days, i was running a stock F1VF 94-95 maf with my 900cc (83#) injectors.
As for the fuel boiling off due to having a large pump... I run a 416lph walbro in my tank. It runs 100% all the time, and is capable of supplying enough fuel for 900hp on pumo gas, or around 750 on E85. I logged my fuel temp in my return line. It was 12* warmer than ambient temp. Hardly something I would concern myself with.
I would be very interested in knowing what sort of equipment you used to capture data for the fuel temperature in the return line. That isn't exactly a common feature. What sort of sensor did you use, where did you locate the sensor, and how did you wire it up? Pictures?

After following the zeitronix.com link, there are no installation instructions for the ethanol/gasoline sensor. It would make sense to install it in the pressure feed line, since it is more beneficial to know the temperature of the feed to the engine and not the return.
That plus the amount of fuel in the return line decreases as demand for fuel increases, This decrease in flow could cause erroneous readings on the gauge unit.

While that may make sense on a stock vehicle, it would be foolish on mine. The ID of the sensor tube is 3/8" (which is exactly the same as my return line). This 3/8 sensor would cause a rather large restriction in my -10 feed line.
