Engine dieing on sharp left turns

I put this in the carb section because I know its the carb, I am running an Edelbrock 600cfm forgot which one, the conclusion I have come to is the float dip down and kills the fuel flow to the cylinder which didn't help when I was practicing the slalom and ended up losing my steering . Any input would be great on this issue

Re: Engine dieing on sharp left turns

Had the same issue with a 750cfm edelbrock carb.

Some things that will help. Fuel pressure less is better.
Float setting. Try a slightly different float height and drop spec.
The default factory spec is a good place to start but may not be optimum.
Small adjustments in the float height can make a big difference.

There are Off Road style spring loaded carb needle seat assemblies you can swap in. Edelbrock service parts.
