Default Need Help!!!

I was running hard today with a RX-7 and shifted from 3rd to 4th and my car cut off. <img border="0" alt="[kaboom]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" /> I did not hit the rev limiter and my brakes and everything still worked except the engine. I do not know what happened. Can someone give me some sort of explanation. This is the second time this has happened, and only happens when I run an octane booster. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

No, I am running straight pipes. I think that my O2's may be shot.
