Hitting fuel cut?

just curious about fuel cut, does this happen at a certain boost level? certain rpm? reason i ask is i was driving & did a 3rd gear pull, fairly cool out, seen 13-13.5 boost & car seemed to die for a moment, i'm assuming this could be fuel cut but not sure. still stock ecu, 3'' e-bay garbage exhaust, intake filters, soon to be boost controller if this is my problem. with stk ecu i should be running boost no more than 10lbs correct? thanks

I sure as heck hope you're hitting fuel cut. 13-13.5lb is way too much for stock ecu and fuel.

Fuel cut should kick in right around 12psi.

Basically, the stock ECU allows for a litte spiking around the transition area:

Code:
RPM     ABS. CUT OFF(PSI)       SEA LEVEL CUT OFF(PSI)

1000    26.5                    11.8
1500    26.5                    11.8
2000    26.5                    11.8
2500    26.5                    11.8
3000    26.9                    12.2
3500    27.1                    12.4
4000    27.5                    12.8
4500    28.0                    13.3
5000    26.9                    12.2
5500    26.0                    11.3
6000    25.8                    11.1
6500    25.4                    10.7
7000    25.4                    10.7

Overboost fuel cut function involves only the rear rotor and when actuated the motor does not feel like it dies,rather it runs on one rotor.The transition is fairly smooth.

There is also an engine overspeed fuel cut to both rotors at about 8100 rpm(on a 5 speed).This feels like the motor dies and definitely feels jerky.

Fuel cuts occur also as part of the deceleration fuel strategy,how and where the fuel is cut is described in the Sevice Highlights Manual published by Mazda.

If you are scared of fuel cuts the RX7 is the wrong car for you!
