Not sure, I don't think it is. Connections are tight, voltage on the battery reads about 15v whenever the car is running and don't have any problems starting it.

After talking to a couple people one said that the car may not be grounded properly. Now just have to find out where that grounding wire/cable is and check it out.

Does anyone know where the grounding cable is?

Have you checked the cables around the headers? Might have gotten too hot and melted a little. The main negative cable should be grounded to the chassis in the trunk.

I haven't yet but hopefully Sunday I can get a chance to look over all the wiring, which will be a huge pain. After talking to more people it could be one of a couple options:

1. Car isn't grounding good, loose ground caused from vibration (should be fun to try and find)
2. Bad relay in the wiring for the fuel injectors
3. Open/exposed wire in the harness that has the fuel injector lines.

Thinking about buying this handy tool to help me see if it is actually the wiring

So who is ready for some good news finally (well hopefully)

Sunday looked over the car checked all the grounding wires I could find and looked them over, removed any surface crap that was on them, and re-taped a wire that was exposed. Was able to get the car over 6100 RPMS without the issue happening. Is it fixed not 100% sure, will test it out more when I get out of work. I hope I did fix the issue because the last T&T of the season is this Sunday and we have been having some very cool air here for the past 3 weeks so might be able to set a new PB!

Edit: Did a couple burnouts getting the car well over 6000RPMs for a bit and had zero issues at all, think it is safe to say I fixed the problem? Hopefully the weather holds up this Sunday so I can claim that #1 spot in the top 10 haha

For anyone who was expecting results, they closed the track yesterday due to rain. Not sure if they are going to reschedule that T&T or just close the track for the season.
