dies on turns and decel

Car wants to die on right turns and sometimes upon deceleration. I've got to keep the rpm's up to keep it from shutting off. Should I be checking for vacuum issue?

Car is a 96 lt1 with vortech t-trim, obd1 conv, 2 bar map, all bolt ons, lonnies dual fuel pump, cc305, stock ported heads.

My car bogs on hard right turns when the gas level is 1/4 tank or below. Watch the guage next time, drops to E.

Thanks for the reply. This happens on a full tank though. I'm not sure what to think.

I just pulled the car out for a run. Looks like my steering knuckle might be contacting my plug wires >

.

lifeisgood, I've heard that IAC could be a reason. What should I be looking for when I pull it out?

Just clean the IAC..it's supposed to open up in lower RPM's..it might be cruddy.

I'd look into that Plug Wires..does it sound like it's got a bad-*** Cam in it..lol..
