As air flows over the resistor it cools it and the MAF has to increase voltage to keep it at the set temp. The voltage range is .5v - 5.0v. If the MAF isn't large enough it will peg at 5.0v and 12:1 A/F before the redline is reach and thus can not increase fuel to match the incoming air cause the ratio to go above 12:1.
One of the guys here said something similar. So.........now we do what to figure if it is too small or not?

Something like;
Just check the voltage as you run up the rpm range?
