Personally I think things just need some miles to work out the "kinks".
When you sucked in the water you exploded all of the carbon off of the exhaust valves and piston tops, any that got into the cats will be burnt up and probably smoke while it does so.
O2's are reading good, no coolant loss, no oil loss?
I would wait and see, drive it normal for a week, checking the fluids often.
MAF is still plugged in?

Drove it today for a while. Got codes 1314 and 1316 - still smoking. Pulled plug 8 was fouled. I'm thinking it's fuel related. Hard to tell at this point I'm at my wits end.

I know exactly what that is, it is getting to much raw fuel dumped into the cats, that is what happens when the cats burn the excess fuel, it smokes like that, and that color.
My wifes car does it at idle, if it idles to long it smokes exactly like that, it has a bad fuel injector and it is dumping to much fuel into cylinder #3, I also get a misfire code on that cylinder.
On her car low quality of fuel makes it smoke more, high quality it smokes less.
I am not looking forward to replacing the injectors on that thing.

Interesting., kinda what I figured now I just have to figure out why it's happening on one bank only. Gonna put some fresh plugs in and run them. See how they turn out. I'm not getting any cylinder codes so I can't pin point it. Smoking like he'll though
