My friends T/A did the same thing on hard turns and decel, it was way low on oil and when the oil sloshed away from the pickup the car would die, no codes. I doubt GM removed this safety feature for newer motors, but I am new to LS1's so don't flame me!

But the sensor that monitors this is different than the guage sender, on thirds it is located next the oil filter I believe, wouldn't matter if oil was all there, if sender is bad, it will still kill the pump

Try and see if there is a sensor next to the oil filter; I am not talking about the level or psi sender, this is a fuel pump cutoff sensor that guages oil psi, it's only purpose is to cut out the fuel pump if you lose pressure again if it goes bad it will shut the pump off. Do you have a repair manual?

It is called an oil pressure switch, on LS1's it could be integrated into the main oil psi sending unit, either way you should check it out.

A Coolant Temperature Sensor could also give the same symptoms, if it was grounding out and making the PCM think it was overheating it'd just shut off with no codes. Just a thought on it as there was a bulletin about the sensor breaking apart and giving false reading.

I had a similar problem once in my car. Also had starting issues where it would not do anything when i tried to start it and then out of the blue it would fire up as normal. Anyway, there are 2 large fuses (relays maybe) in your fuse block under the hood. They are grey in color are square. Theres 2 of them right next to each other, and both use the same relay. Try replacing them. One is the starter which was causing my starting issues, and the other was the one that was hosing my car while it was driving. Check and see if that might help?

As to the killing with a burnout. I have never even spun a tire intentionally in dry weather and only 2x in wet just to test the posi. One before and once after the wheel-bearings were done. I am so easy on this car its crazy, I only get on it from a roll and touch redline maybe once in a blue moon.

BLKWS.6..... have you noticed how much attention your "problem" threads always seem to get? It's like we're all doing our best to get your satanmobile road worthy so you can start enjoying what the LS1 has to offer and not constantly thinking about selling it.
I really hope you get this thing fixed once and for all. I'd like to hear about you having some fun for a change rather than always having to worry. Good luck man.

Yeah, i may crack on GM but never you guys. 99.9% of you only have good stuff/advice to give and I am grateful for your time/energies. I just lurked on this site for years and finally got what everyone raves about, top of the F-body line minus limited edition stuff, black/black 6-speed WS6 with all the LS6 goodies and every option. Nothing but **** with it. It really gets to me and makes me mad you know? I know it shouldnt, and if it was simple stuff that I could fix, like a coil pack, or like an AIT sensor or something, I would be cool about it, but its random dying with no cause and crap like that that really pisses me off.

IS there a common ground for that box that holds the starter, fp relay, ect? Is the Trac-Control routed through there as well? Sometimes (only 2x ever) my trac-control light comes on and I cant turn the TC function back on until I re-start the car. Maybe a ground to that cluster of stuff has an issue? I dunno. Confused*

I truely does suck when you buy your dream car and it gives you problems. Trust me, I've been through stuff like that before; sometimes it's been plain bad luck/beyond my control, but often it was my own fault for making bad choices on mods here and there as I was learning. I understand that with your situation it's really not your fault at all. Sorry about the bad luck lately.
Let me tell you, I'm a perfectionist. I truely try my best to make everything with my cars perfect all the time, and when it's not it drives me nuts.... like loss of sleep type nuts; I'll think about it constantly till I figure something out. But I just try to tell myself that these are cars, and no car is perfect, however I still try my best to make 'em as perfect as I can.
I know you're not really shooting for perfection here, that you just want the car to run right, and I can understand how frustrating that is. I've had one or two "problem" cars before; cars that I really wanted to be perfect. But it just didn't happen.
I hope your car comes together for you....
