You will probably gain next to nothing and probably have to retune as well.

I say no

You can get a little power if your stock MAF is maxed out and you go to a bigger one but it's not worth the hassle

I am ignorant when it comes to modern Chevys.. Does the maf get maxed out doing just "cheap performance" mods (I am assuming no internal or forced induction).

Don't waste your money. You WILL have to have it tuned and you will pick up next to nothing unless you are making enough power that the stock MAF is the intake side bottle neck. Save a bit more money and buy a cam and the appropriate supporting modifications (including tune) and you will be much happier.
