Too much to read, so here is my opinion. Little if any chance the MAF is bad. Would be a cruel coincidence if so. They probably smacked a plug installing the headers or f'ed up a plug wire or O2 sensor/wiring. Gears have nothing to do with this equation. Forget about that shop, they are in defensive mode. Gonna have to bite the bullet and fix yourself or pay another shop.

A blinking Service Engine Light means you are in immediate danger of doing damage to your catalytic converter, the misfire count is that high. When you have that number of misfires, you have an extreme excess of unburned fuel that ends up burning in your catalytic converters.

You really NEED to rout those wires over your valve covers and use heat sleeves on the boots. LT1s are notorious for burning up plug wires and boots. Do this NOW and you wont ever have to worry about it. Also, did you get locking header bolts? LT1s like to spit header bolts out like an inexperienced ex girlfriend. Do yourself a favor and do all of this once and you wont have to return to those mechanics.

Blinking check engine light So, I just had my headers and gears installed. I got the car back yesterday after 3 weeks!!!!!!! Ive been driving like an elderly person to break in my gears. I go to start another heat cycle for the gears, start the car and I notice my check engine light blinking. I rev it to 4k and it shakes bad. I'm going back to the shop monday. But in the mean time what could the problem be? I dont have a way to check the code. Thanks for any feedback.
