LS1 engine missing

2003 ls1 when I power brake it, the engine starts miss firing about 1500 rpm it seems to drive fine.New plugs and wires. I did install a twin snorkel air systrem and it moved the mass airflow sensor down a little further could that be it? When you start to brake it , starts smooth then it's like you hit a switch and starts missing back off the gas and it soothes out.

Do you have any videos of this power braking? I've never done this but would be curious as to what it looks like on camera. Is this a method used at the track for launching without line locks?

Sounds like a vacuum leak in the intake- or the brake booster and hose system.
Did you modify the MAF in any way?
How far and how was it moved?
What codes are reported?

As was mentioned check to see what DTC’s are stored (probably a P0101)…is the MIL illuminated ??… these aftermarket filters can certainly cause these lean misfires and the PCM will be able to adapt its fueling strategy over time but sometimes not…check to be sure all your connections to it are secure and not leaking.
