Power loss when cornering

Taking a sharp corner makes me loose power for a second or so! What could the problem be?

Dirt in the fuel tank, bad fuel pump, bad fuel pump wiring, bad grounds on engine or body.

If you notice this happening mostly on left turns, it is most likely a dirty fuel "sock" filter at the bottom of the fuel pump or a weak fuel pump. When I bought my first fc, the same thing was happening. I removed the fuel pump only to find that some other dipshit had put a salvage yard fuel pump in with no sock filter at all.
