Default Car bogs in the corners, road race.

I had my 65 Chevelle at the track yesterday. The road race cours is about 1 minute 10 seconds long with the best cars reaching 120mph and going around 75-80 in most of the turns.

Overall, being my first track day event, I totally enjoyed it. The sc&c suspension system held up great and I would have passed a few cars on 15" tires if it hadn't been for one Big issue.

When pushing the car in the turns it starts to bog and stutter when going in to the pedal, it keeps stuttering for a while down the straight and then looses all power. If I let go and drive slow it cures and works fine until the next turn and then it starts again. I've never noticed this when pushing it on the streets, but now that I now I notice the same thing happen there. Also when doubt donuts it will suddenly loose power.
I have my suspicions on what is wrong but would love to hear you comments! This will not happen that much in the first laps, but when starting to push the car it becomes a big problem.

Combo:
Stock fuel tank and Lines
Holley red pump in the engine bay
Prosystems double pumper, 1000 hp
ZZ502 with cam and 11,2:1 cr.

I tried:
Fuel bowls 95% full glass - same problem
Fuel bowls just under glass - same problem
Front fuel bowl at 40% and rear under the glass - same problem
Backing off the timing alot - same problem, ran like a dog.

What do you believe is happening ?
I know my fuel system is not the best, but has been working fine on the street so haven't messed with it.
