Exclamation car keeps cutting off under light acceleration

HELP!!!

I need help with my car. It cut off on me tonight 3 or 4 times on my way home, The battery was weak enough that I had to be jumped off every time it died but it started fine when I started to go home without a jump. When I left the house it had to be jumped off but when I left my friends house it started fine, I got about 2 miles down the road, was running around 60 MPH with light acceleration and it died just like I had cut the switch off. I called my friend, he came and jumped it off and it would start back up just fine, run and drive fine but when I tried to accelerate slowly to around 60 MPH it would die.

I have a 2 BAR OS with HP tuners, 403 cid engine with LS2 block, AEM injector driver, 96 lb per hour injectors, nasty performance stage 3 fuel system, APS twin kit and a 4L80E transmission.
The only other time it has done anything like this is when I had it on the Dyno at PCMforless it did the exact thing on the Dyno but has not done it before or since, when I remembered that it did it on the Dyno I drove it pretty hard to get home and no more problems.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Default battery

First off, I'd be looking at the battery.

Then the alternator, then every wire between the 2.

Then grounds.

It's always the little things that get us!
