Default should i be worried??? please help

I was driving about 85-90 on the freeway tonight...not in boost...i had boosted earlier but i was just cruising at this point...the car stalls and shuts off...i look at my widebands showing 16.0...did it shut off because i was leaning out?

i pull over and and turn the key back and start the car back up...it fires back right away...as im pulled over a gt and vette fly past me...when i get back on the freeway CHP is pulling them both over...God was looking out because i would downshifted the second i saw one of those guys pass me...

why would i stall like that?

Throw any codes?

Back to the tuner for more Dyno passes and data logging?

hmmm maybe your boost a pump? sounds like you ran dangerously lean and your ecu did an emergency shutoff. If its a one time thing it should be cool. Wideband doesnt really matter anymore huh, its too late once you find out...... Forgot do you have a fuel press gauge?

The big Muscle Car God was looking our after you, he made you stall at the exact right moment to avoid getting a costly ticket.

That is of course if you're like me and you use a Valentine 1, you would have known po-po was coming up on your backside.
