With a Demon carb, you want your fuel level to be at least half the sight glass, 3/4 is acceptable........My race car with a Demon does the same thing in hard stops, so does my street car with a Holley, not too much you can do to prevent this, cept brake hard and at the last possible second, push in the clutch........

Rick is dead-on with what is happeneing, fuel slosh in the bowls,throttle blades closed, and little to no fire= motor dying out on ya.....
