What do you think happened to my car?

Taking a friend for a ride, in second gear at 4k I step on the throttle...sputters spits and comes to a stop at the bottom of the hill where it has remained since that. What could have happened? I tried to turn it over but I dont think its getting fuel.

My guess is fuel pump? I havent upgraded to a larger pump yet and Im thinking my mods and boost level was too much for the OE pump. Help me out here, this sucks!

My question to you:

does your gas tank contain gas? . Check your fuel pressure as well.
