Default Intake problem

I have a 99 Trans Am I updated to a Dorman intake. I had to move the MAF sensor to the front. Now it doesn't have the same power as it did. Keeps throwing the TPS sensor code. Is it because it needs a tune or is something wrong here.
Thanks for any help you can give.

The MAF sensor is ALWAYS in the front. Do you mean the MAP sensor?
TPS is Throttle Position Sensor. Broken wire?

I kept mine in the back. Just drill out the hole and use rear location. Plug the front with the ws6 store plug.
