I would stay stock, have seen too many problems with aftermarket MAFs.

You can also try a residue free contact cleaner found in electrical shops (Radio shack and the likes). Sometimes they are just dirty.

Some GM cars have a fuse for the MAF as well. I have replaced many of blown fuses for MAF problems. I can't remember if it is LS1 or LTx though....

Make sure the connector inside the plug is not shoved back into the plug
