What Now?

Ok heres the deal..I hear everyone on here talk about doing a boosted launch so i figure hell i'll try it out. I thought i was doing everything to make it easier on my truck. i put my stock wheels and tires on, left truck in 2wd, and the road was wet. I had my truck at about 30 psi in 3rd gear clutch almost all the way out and i dumped the clutch and mashed the skinny pedal and instead of lighting the tires up my truck died in its tracks. I was stunned so i tried to start the truck right away and it wouldn't hardly crank. I let it sit for about a minute and started again and it turned over hard and once it fired it idled rough for about 15 seconds and went back to normal. i drove it around for a couple of miles and everything seems fine. what do you think happened and do you think i messed anything up internally? not sure if its in my sig but im running a scheid dd puller clutch...

weird, I tried the 3rd gear launch when I was at the strip before because I wasn't having much luck launching in 2nd... it bogged but it didn't die, and I wasn't even really in the gas at the strip on dry pavement... and my truck is just about bone stock. Hopefully someone with more insight will chime in, I'm kind of curious what was the matter myself.
