Its got to be either a bad ground or a pinched wire. I was very careful about the wiring harness when uninstalling/reinstalling though so I'm really not sure. Hopefully I'll figure it out soon though. I put 30+ miles on the car tonight w/o the MAF plugged in! Drove like a champ, even in partial throttle boost (maybe 8psi or so?). Idles at 900rpm like it has no cams, even my wife approves! Hrm.....insta-speed density X

Wahoo! Figured it out!!! I had put one thick, main ground just above the starter, when in fact it went below the starter. It was on the block, but the spot I put it on above the starter also held a small bracket (to hold the harness off the starter), and I had put the grounding wire on the outside of that--it must not conduct very well. I moved the ground to the correct spot (the manual actually has diagrammed where each one is), fired it up w/o maf to confirm it was working, then shut it off, plugged in maf, fired it up, voila!
Thank you everyone for all of the help!
