You don't ever drop the pedal with less than 1/4 tank??? Geez Louise, you still have like 3 full gallons of gas or more with 1/4 tank, so I think that's being a little too conservative. I don't go WOT once the low fuel light comes on, and that's really the only point that you need to start being careful. Even then, when the low fuel light comes on you still have more than a gallon of gas left, so no need to be freaking out about fuel cut at 1/4 tank for goodness sake!

There's a very good reason why, the stock fuel pick-up is NOT good, and fuel sloshes very easily with a bucking car (ask the OP, ha!)

did you find your problem mine did the same today, it lost almost all power but the rpms kept going smoothly as usual but not as fast no clutch slip doing a leak test tomorow and it seemed like a fuel cut like you were saying, im tuned at 370wbp and set at 25psi,grimspeed manual boost controller, cosworth272 m2 cams and springs, act 6 puck clutch, walbro 255 fuel pump, larger front mount intercooler bushcer cold air intake, 2/3 a tank of gas, ive peaked 26psi before as well with no problem on the same tune.

someone please give me a heads up
