Also imagine Crankshaft pulley and SC pulley and the belt. Looking at the pulleys the SC is on the left and the belt is rotating clockwise. Should the tensioner be put b/w the belt moving from the Crankshaft to the SC or the SC to the crankshaft ?
Also have been told the STD MAF is ok for 8 PSI. 260 whp

Metal. Heavier, but less likely to break &/or have problems.
When you say left, you mean looking at the front of the motor he S/C will be on the left side (timing cover/waterpump/ect). Which is actually the 'right' side of the motor? You should mount the tensioner 'behind' the S/C pulley.
So following rotation of the belt: Crankshaft -> S/C pulley -> Tensioner.
Given your description it would go on the 'bottom' side, you could put the adjuster facing downwards so when you tighten it it pulls the pulley down, and the adjusting nut will be accessible from the bottom of the car/engine bay.
Stick with MAF if it's proven to be fine. Once it's in for tuning is when you'll be able to tell if the MAF voltage platues and the MAF is too small. I'm not too sure on who you talked to, since some of those guys could be running the MAF after the s/c which will give different readings...
