I can't drive
Alright. I've made it to the track a few times this year, and I it seems to happen after I launch when the car spins (i'm on dr's) and as soon as the car start to recover it shuts down for a moment and takes off again all while i'm still at WOT. This all happen while in first gear of course cause my car doesn't have the balls to spin in 2nd gear.
I brought the lap top along to data log this past friday and the first couple passes it bogged but no issues. On the Last pass I didn't get to data log cause I was one of the first cars to run after a clean up and had just enough time to get my helmet on but on this run I decided I would launch around 5500 and ride it out since the track had been better than previous outtings. Low and behold it shuts down again.
Alittle more history 2 years ago the car would trap 107-108 consistently in cool weather and 106-107 in the summer with stock 17's all the way around with DR's. I let the car sit for several months last summer killing the battery completely (wouldn't even take a charge) then added the 17x4.5 racestars up front with 15's out back and figured if anything the car would gain a little mph but certainly not lose any especially since the car is cutting nearly the same 60's. I finally make it back to the track and the car was trapped 102-103 so I reloaded the tune, I went through a couple tanks of fuel, new fuel filter and the cool weather came along it was trapping 103-104 all while my 60's were roughly the same if not slightly worst than before. Last friday the car finally went 105-106 but it just seems odd to me and i'm not sure if both issues could be related or not being the car ran great before with what little is done.
I apologize for all the reading but i'm tired of racking my brain over a near stock vehicle. Any thoughts on any of this? Maybe i'm worrying over nothing? Anyway I wanted to see if anybody else has had any similar issues.
The exact mods to the car are VMP mail order tune, pypes off road x-pipe, pypes m.m.s., 4.10's, 275-50-15 M/T's, che k-member brace with torque limiters, BMR relocation brackets, MGW shifter....still on stock airbox with paper filter.

If you watch at 4 second mark you can hear to cut out before I shift into second.
