[V8] Sputter, studder, putt putt...

That sounds remarkably similar to a problem I'm having with a friends  V8. 
I'm pretty sure my problem is narrowed down to a failing MAF.
 
 Try this. Rev and hold the RPM steady at 3k + for 10-15 seconds, then  let 
it return to idle and quick rev the motor and see how the response is. If  
the engine sounds better and the spitting and backfiring goes away for a few 
 minutes then its likely the MAF.

Well i'm  getting what's best described in the subject header. Car feels 
and sounds like  she's not running on all 8 cylinders. Exhaust sounds 
different, while idling  it's rather lumpy and while reving she spits and backfires 
a bit.
No codes  so i'm obviously thinking ign related. I just changed spark plugs 
and wires  (bought from a lister who said they were good). The wires 
supposed to OHM out  at.....1k or was it 5k? I know the wires are on rite cause I 
pulled one at a  time and replaced with the told to me good wires. I'll pull 
one wire at a time  and replace with my originals to make sure I don't have 
a bad wire or two.  
The caps look good, no cracking or carbon buildup on the cap points. Rotor  
tips were clean as well when I pulled the caps.

am I thinking correct  to think it's ign related?
