Car just died
So I am driving and I was going for my daily redline and missed a shift..it bounced of the rev limited less than a second...I heard a pop and then car just died and turned off. Ignition is brand new...Battery is fine....Fuel pump turns on....Fuses are good
when i was trying to turn on the car it sounded like it was gunna catch but never did

The pop was the backfire which is pretty common and normal. Who did the ignition install and what was specifically done to the ignition system? Check plug wires on both sides? Verify that it isn't flooded now that you tried to start it with no luck?

The pop was a backfire...no big deal...you should have those all the time being catless. The reason why Im questioning your ignition is because it controls the spark and you aren't getting any. It could be that a coil wire came loose or your ignition has bad timing or it could just be that your eshaft position sensor came off. Hence why it is pretty important to know what you are calling a new "iginition."

did the pop noise come from behind you or in front of you ?
Might be a good idea to start with basics .
Do you have spark ?
Do you have fuel getting to combustion chamber ?
Do you have even puffs of pressure from all chambers when you remove one plug at a time ?
