car dies when given gas

I have an holley 750 double pumper on a 350 with edelbrock intake, comp cam, eletric fuel pump, no emissions, and a turbo 350 tranny. the thing is the car will accelerate when floored over 20 but under 20, the car will just shut off and i will have to restart it. plus the cars overall performance doesnt seem like what it would run given the performance parts on the car. what would this be? any ideas

maybe you have too much fuel pressure. or a clogged fuel filter
