98 SS M6 cuts off on sharp turns Ok peple, this is my first post ever, let me start by saying ls1tech rules, ok....
I got a 98 camaro ss 6-speed, k&n stock replacement filter, straight pipe, strano springs, lcs's, n lca's relo brackets, dbl adj phb, stb, 3-point weld on subframs connectors, lakewood, tunnel brace w/ driveshaft safety loop, n rear drag shocks.....
When i make a sharp turn, meaning like road course action, my throttl cuts off for a couple seconds, then i get to go.... I dont know if it has some type of safety or government chip or senso that doesnt let it hit hard turns, but it takes the fun out of me tryin to drive my camaro hard, anybody got any ideas on what this might be? Thanks for the help everyone....

I've never heard of a high G cutoff chip, but am sure your car doesn't have one. 
People in the past have had similar issues due to loose wiring. You might scan for codes to see if that gives you a clue as to the general area having the issue.
If this only happens when you get in the throttle out of a turn - that's something different.

You might have a vacuum leak from the power brake booster....if your pushing your brake pedal harder to slow down on sharp turns it will cuase your engine to stall...press on your break pedal with engine off and ignition on run position
and listen for air escaping from your brake booster....sounds like a slow air leak...best of luck to you

Ok the car is a champ, runs like a brand new car...
It didnt have no codes, n i dont hit the brakes wen this happens, i pretty much drive normal, then ill see a nice turn/street i wanna hit fast, so wat ill do is down shift n throttle it....
If it burns out n i drift it, it drives perfect, but if i dont punch it as if i wanna hug the turn n grip good, ocasionally it will do it....
Ok, now lets say theres a loose wire sumwere.... What would cause this? Were do i start lookin? What sensors do i check?

I'd start with checking any wire connection that connects the battery or alternator to other parts of the car.

Ok so ive been checking n checking, everything seems good, i mean i checked almost every connection, i checked for broken hoses or pipes, broken parts, loose parts, top n bottom, i checked fluids, but now i got 1 last question..... Now that ive been thinking of this for so long, ive pretty much thought of everything, but 1 thing dat has me wondering is if the gas had anything to do with it....
Ok here it goes, lets say i got less than 1 quarter tank of gas, or around there, wat if im hitting the turn so hard, that it makes da gas lean all to one side, would that make it cutoff? Like the gas leaning away from the fuel pump's reach?!

make sure it's not the traction control ( ASR) that come on during sharp turn...

Maybe i drive it with the fuel level too low, because the last time this happened i know i remembered having less than 1/4 of a tank, almost empty, i normally dont drive that hard, but that was the day i discovered an amazing turn that i thought i'd hit super hard n see what the beaSSt would do with its upgrades, anyways thanks to all who helped, you guys are good people, im glad im in ls1tech, n im sure well chat again, until then have a blast!
