Default the Z is killing me

okay.. so ive had my spec stage IIIi installed for about 2 1/2 months.. just the other day it starts to putter really bad, and revs to like 2500 and then pops and turns off.... i turn the key and it turns right back on. and does it again, the only reason i mention the clutch is cause the only time the engine revs like this is when its rolling...if i let it idle and play with the gas pedal i cant get it to do it again...only when its on the road.

can anyone help me with this issue, i dont wanna take it to a dealership cause i dont have the air system on and i dont know what they will say about it...does anyone know a dealership i can take it to if i cant get this resolved myself...

i take the car to auto zone to see what codes it throws, and here is what i got:

P0102 Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input
P0418 Secondary Air Injection System Relay A Circuit
P1133 HO2S Insufficient Switching Bank 1 Sensor 1

the pcm thew these codes, would they have anything to do with my engine doing this.

Check for a blown fuse, bad connector pin or wires to the MAF or the MAF itself as being bad.

Check to make sure you MAF is plugged in. If it is you'll either need a new one or have somebody make sure there is not a wiring problem somewhere along the line. Also the o2 code pretty much means the o2 is dead.
