Car stalling out when sideways
Iam not sure what ive changed since but when ever i take a sharp turn or try to do a donut the car kinda of spudders out like it is starved for fuel or something like that. I think it might be my fuel pump but it seems to be runing fine...help me out if u can

Check the fuel level in your float bowls, make sure it is at the 1/2 mark on both sides. Otherwise, too high or too low fuel pressure could be the culprit. This is all assuming that you have a carb. More details on the car would help a lot, especially since Trochoid has lost his ball(s)... (crystal *****, that is)... I'm going to call my psychic and see if she knows what you're driving.

If your car is sideways you are throwing the fuel in your float bowls around, Depending on the direction you are going you will starve either the primary or secondaries, If you are using a holley carb you can buy a racing float kit from racingbeat that will convert your floats to center floats so that you wont have that issue. All this is assuming your fuel pump is good. However if your fuel pump was bad you would have this problem even when you were going straight.

I tend to agree with stupidturbo. I am not familiar with these carbs but I do know that the really old carbs like Strombergs because of the setup of the float would starve for fuel on sharp turns because the float would drop due to the fuel moving to one side of the bowl and thus close the float needle.
