ported maf, not to be an arse, is a horrible mod.

I would try swapping out MAFs with a stock one. Also longtubes move the o2 sensor further down and they run into some heat-up issues as the eec has a temp setting for the o2's. Think of putting your hand 2in away from a hairdryr' then moving it 6in away. Cold startup issues and some other things are common with longtubes, a tune is a good thing to get at this point.

Actually the ported MAF can be an issue. The codes will tell you an area that is wrong. Go to Auto Zone and have them test for free.

By porting your MAF you are going to run lean. This is because the computer thinks there is LESS air then is actually being used. So you port the MAF, get more airflow, but the fuel stays the same. Ping city.

Did you get the extension plugs for the longtube 02 sensors? How does your car run when its at wide open throttle? (WOT) At WOT, your computer no longer uses your oxygen sensors. See if the car still bucks when you mat the pedal. That will eliminate the 02s and the MAF will be calculating a/f.

I would definately pull codes like vib mentioned.
