Going back to E85 for the summer and will avoid having fun on left turns. Worst case, have to replace fuel pump again and it actually is the fuel source. Best case, racecar.
Adding onto what FR-S2GT86 said, as far as I've read on this forum and heard of from folks, this is not an issue for DD's. To my understanding, you have to REALLY be pushing the car (as one would on the track) and take a HARD corner at WOT to produce this result. I don't believe I've ever read any DD having this problem. Being lower on gas would definitely be a culprit as well.
