Can you describe the behavior of the car with the MAF unplugged?

After clearing the codes, do the misfire codes return with the MAF unplugged?
VF sent a different set of plugs(hotter or colder I cannot remember) which I did check the gap and set to OEM specs.
I have read that an FI engine should have a closer gap plug!!!

The engine when the MAF is unplugged has no "lag" from off to on throttle and has no "burble" upon letting off the gas. It is obviously down on power due to the ECU controlling the AFR and not the O2 sensors, but there is no sign of stumbling or idle dropping as when MAF plugged in.
