I'd say that you probably got a defective one. It looks like those were used on 5.3s, 6.0s,4.0's(bonneville),5.7's, and 8.1's....according to the interchange information that I have available to me.

No. Tunes are calibrated for specific MAFs. All you've done is create a mismatch between the calibration in the PCM and the hardware on the car.
