Default Car cutting off on launch

I have a 98 z28 with a ls6 swap with a 3200 vig stall hooker long tubes and magna flow cat-back with 3.73 and every time i stall up to 3200 and launch my car cuts off and completly dies and then starts back up on its on and then takes off. Has any one else had this problem or know what the cause might be.

if the car starts bucking and lights start jumping on either your positive batery terminal is hitting the ac condenser and causing it to spark or u have a bad ground wire

I've also seen batteries have the plates move around and short out internally...but it's pretty rare.
