stalling at freeway speed

I redlined 1st and 2nd and then cruised up to 65mph in 5th then put it in 6th... after cruising for a little bit I put in the clutch to slow down and started to brake and my engine stalled no cel or anything I let out the clutch a little and it started up but any speed above 55mph and I put the clutch pedal in it dies... WTF?!?!?

I have a weapon R intake with the "cold air duct" and a generic single out exhaust stock cat...
when I got home I pulled the coils and one of the spark plug wires came apart I "fixed it" (I am an electrician/technician) and the resistance was the same as all the other wires after I repaired the terminal its temporary until I can get kragens to special order my wires... anyway any ideas what could be the problem?
