Default Fuel issues during turning..NEED HELP!

I tried a search to no avail, but the issue at hand is every time I make a hard left or right turn, my engine sputters as if it's running out of gas. I have a full tank and this issue is still a problem. Does anybody know what this issue is, or have any similar experiences?

Thanks!

Does it happen with and without traction control?

Traction control is usually always on, but I recently installed a Bama tune, and I am not sure if the traction control is disabled or not, as it still breaks loose, but the TC button is on.

Is there a way to monitor fuel pressure on the system while driving? I would... it sounds like a wire or something is loose on the pump and its coming loose when you turn. Just a guess cause it seems like a weird problem. I would check the fuel pressure while turning.

Unfortunately, there isn't any gauge set up, but I may just install one if I can't get to the bottom of this.

I think I will have to throw parts at this problem, so I plan to buy a new fuel pump to replace.

OK, throwing parts at the problem didn't work. I emptied the tank, refilled with Chevron Supreme, replaced the fuel pump and sending unit as well as fuel filter. I reloaded the stock tune and I am still experiencing the same problem. I am running out of ideas at this point and I am hoping to hear some decent feedback.

If you reloaded the stock tune and it is still happening, then you can pretty much bet it is an electrical issue. You replaced the pump and the sending unit so my guess is you have a wire grounding...

Trace back everything and look for any burning or exposure.

Any Idea of where to start looking?
