Question Hesitation During Acceleration

My '99 Camaro with 3.8 has a problem occasionally when it's been running for a while I get alot of hesitation while I try to accellerate. I just put new plugs and wires in about a month ago. But problems still persist. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Where are you located out of curiosity? and my 3.8 camaro which was also a 99 had the same problem around 86k miles and I never got around to fixing it before I got rid of it, but I guarentee it was the MAF sensor so I might check that first I think they are around 100 for a new one but I'm not toally sure.
