FUEL SLOSH? bogs in hard turn!

Seems that when i make a hard left turn (hard meaning around 50-80 mph) the engine is starved for fuel, as i rech the apex of the turn and return the car to the correct angle it is immediatley corrected. i assume this has something to do with my 600 cfm holley 4160. any cures? maybe a small metal plate with holes to slow the transfer of fuel from one side to the other. i dunno, you tell me!

Most of the really competitive road race/solo cars are carbed. Check out this fix for it.
