Default something wrong with my intake and engine

I just installed the hks intake and had test drive but i have problem between inatke and engine...

When I step on the accelerator in 2nd gear to 6000 rpm with the max accelation, the rpm gage drops to 0 and the engine turns off while i'm driving. While the lights and the music is still on, just the engine turns off. When I turn the key to start the car again, the engine starts up as if nothing happened.

My car was all stock and just installed intake today and get this heppen ..

Reset your ECU and see if this still persists.

so, how does the car shut off at 6k rpms and it not lock the rear tires up and lock your steering up?

I would think if i was at 6k in 2nd gear in my car and it died all of a sudden I would lose control of it since it wouldn't have steering and the rear would lock up due to the motor not spinning (at least until i could get to the clutch)
