not getting gas when sideways at WOT...

hey everypeople, so i'm having a problem with my gas while WOT. the weird thing is it does just fine when i'm driving and i floor it it'll shoot right up to redline, but if i try to drift or if i hit a puddle of water or anything like that where the tires can freely spin, as it's shooting up it just...stops haha. idk how else to describe it. if that's not enough, i'll try to post a video up but is there anything you guys can think of? car has a recently replaced fuel pump and filter too.
Thanks,
Brad

i have a very similar problem but only when i turn left the less gas i have i have it gets worse but i don't think its entirely gas related cause if i take a hard left with a full tank it still does it
