You are going to run lean and may cause harm at WOT if you have not gone with an aftermarket basket or performed the basket hole mode as shown with the vortech isntallation.

This is something most people forget, the basket is a small container that the fuel pump sucks fuel from but the basket is not filled as fast as what the fuel pump can suck in. This can be real bad and explains your hesitation of power due to fuel starvation only during heavy excellaration.

if this was the case wouldnt it do it all the time not just this 1 random occurance. it happened at the track but never again since. and its been easy 10-15 pulls since then. not to mention i didnt do the install of the walbro SnR performance in tampa installed the charger and walbro. they are pretty well known for there boosted Z/Gs im sure they didnt miss this step.. esp considering ive driven the car for 6-8 months as is with millions of hard pulls and racing w no issue.
