Default ok wtf is wrong with my truck

when im getting onto the freeway on-ramp and have the pedal down, it sounds like im pressing and letting go even though im not. its surging....
the surging started doing this since i installed a upd intake, but i dont think an intake would nor has it ever caused that before.

like said above ^ check all your intake connections a leak after the MAF in the intake can cause a surging situation.

Question

Make sure that the really thin sensor wires in the middle of the MAF meter are not bent, broke, or damaged in any way.
Did you reconnect your MAF harness? (Hey it's a simple mistake that could happen)
What year and model is your truck?
