Question Engine Cuts Out!?..

So, i decided on a deserted strip of highway, i wanted to see how fast i could get my FC going....

when i was toping out 5th it felt like all the sudden my engine was cutting out, it happened once, then a few more times, and i let off the gas when i noticed it....

any idea what might have caused this, or what could have happened?...

How much boost are you running? Sounds to me like you don't have enough fuel to support your boost. What % duty cycle are your injectors at?

You have an FCD? Are you hitting fuel cut because of excessive boost?

How fast are were you going? JDM cars cut out at 180KM/H if you DON'T have a FCD/Speed Cut Defender.
