Maybe check the stillen intakes for any loose connections?
What does Cobb tuning port have to do with the Stillen intake. The MAF sensor did not malfunction and if it did would not damage the cam & crank sensor. I'll give you the possibilty of damage to the timing if the MAF was tampered with, but that is not the case with a bolt on CAI without a tune. The MAF is "CRITICAL" because the ECU needs that reading for the engine to function correctly. Your not changing a whole lot parameters when you switch to a CAI. It's just slightly denser/"colder" air which the ecu can compensate for. CAI is not the same as forced induction.
