Default 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..
