Default Sc400 cutting engine under heavy acceleration

Hello everyone, I was doing a pull on the highway approximately going 100 mph at 5k rpm and my car just killed the engine. It just shut off as if we lost spark. Car only cranks now. Pretty sure lost spark inspected everything on the surface and it checks out. Not sure what could be going on

bruh..... Did you say open headers as in no pipe past the header? Or no header at all? If this is the case, you probably melted all the wiring harness that tucks underneath the passenger side where the ECU resides. Which is probably why the ECU gets no power.
