Default Help with New (to me) 50th C5

After for years having numerous Camaros and Trans Ams, I finally got a vette. 50th, 77000 miles, convertible, M6. Seems to have an exhaust update and K&N but that’s about it. When I first got it, it was fine for a few days then it through a P0101 code. Cleaned the MAF and no luck. Sometimes, mostly after a fill up, I would start it and it would die. Had to keep the gas on it and get rolling and then it would be fine. So I swapped out the MAF and things improved. Did a 600 trip last weekend and everthing was great until about 20 miles from our destination and the code popped again. Ran fine though. So I cleared the code and it was fine the rest of the trip. But if you drop the gear and get on it, there’s a bogging around 3-3500 rom until you put your foot all the way into it. No codes though. I ran a fuel pressure test last week and it was dead nuts on 58 psi at idle. It also is back to on occasion starting with the dying at start up. Plus when you come to a light in first sometime the rpm will dip like it wants to die, then rights itself back to normal idle. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nothing pertinent. Other code is on the reverse sensor.
