Default Car dies after hard braking.

Hey guys I wanted to get some feedback on a issue that has happend to me twice already. I will be going at least 120ish and then I hit the brakes hard and then after a couple seconds my car just dies. Its like I lost the accessory drive belt (Power steering, alterrnator). I have checked for codes and nothing comes up regarding the issue. I have checked the engine compartment for any possible issues and didnt see/smell anythiny out of the ordinary. After the enigine cuts out I can turn it back on with out any issue like the porblem never happened. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

did you just put an intake on it?

Manual Z's have a tendency to shut off on heavy brakes in N after new intake.

Are you using the brakes hard enough to lock the rear wheels? When are you putting the clutch pedal down?

If the rear wheels have stopped or almost stopped turning before the clutch is disengaged, the engine will stall.

Ok well I did get a new Batt put in so the car ecu is relearning the upgrades and I have not been disengaging the clutch when braking heavy so that can also be it. Thanks for the help gentelmen.
