Well My gas light came on and i was on Empty so i stopped by this phillips 66 and put 3 gallons of 110 race gas in then went down the street and added 6 more gallons of 93 octane. Well i turned up my boost to 18 psi and it pulls so much harder but randomly (it wont happen every time) i will get fuel cut, probably from the MAS reading too much air coming through. Is there anyway to stop this ???? without buying an safc??? I just wanted to have some fun this weekend at the races, but i dont know y i hit fuel cut randomly??? ALso my stock boost on my LO setting is 10psi then on my high setting its normally 16 psi but today i set it to 18 psi and i hit fuel cut??? hmmmmm please help me out understand whats going on here my mods are in my profile and are updated.
 
Your gonna have to get something like a VPC, GM maf setup, a air fuel controller of some sort or something like DSM link or AEM EMS......or something else along those lines
 
I bet you have a boost leak, which will artifically raise the airflow. Pressure test!
 
To avoid fuel cut with stock injectors you can take out some of the honeycombs in your MAS. But beware of doing this because your ECU will think you have less air than whats actually entering your engine. So you could starve yourself from fuel and detonate. Take the lower one out and try not to destroy it because later on down the road you may want to put it back.
