Default runing very rich???!!!

ok so i pull off my tb to port and polish it and as i look at the blade, i see that it is wet and obviously gas. so i go and look in my intake, there is gas settled at the bottom, not alot mind u but its there. my car thew a bag maf code 2 weeks ago but i bought a new one from a guy on here (sorry forgot name but turned out to be beter than i thought thanks) i installed the maf yesterday. so my question is y is there still gas in there? should i just ignore it and let the computer adjust to the new maf or what??

The LS based engines use a dry intake manifold. The injectors are very close to the heads. You shouldn't see gas in the intake area.

The only exception would be if you have a wet shot of nitrous.
