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.

One other requirement for fuel starvation during hard cornering is a tank that is low on fuel. I think it's supposed to be less than 1/4 tank to give you that problem.
Was your tank low every time you took that high g corner?
