sensor on intake
I remove the factory airbox and installed a custom CAI using flexable exhaust tubing. I had to remove the sensor from the bottom of the box, what do I do with it now. and dose the big sensor ( MAF I think) have to be a certain distance from the intake manifold or as long as its in the loop its cool. I'm installing a zex kit as soon as I hear from Random and or Brendon(spl). and I need to know where I can put these sensors.

The MAF sensor should go...well wherever the wire can reach. You don't really have a lot of range.
The other sensor is the Intake Air Temperature sensor, that should go in the tube upstream of the MAF sensor. It is necessary for the fuel calculations, leave it in the engine bay and it will read too hot, the ECU will calculate the required mixture wrong. If it gets too hot, it can even give you a CEL.
A lot of people take the rubber grommet out of the airbox, poke a hole in the tubing and use the rubber seat to keep the IAT sensor secure.
