Default it stalls . . .

I have been unsuccessful in getting answers or ideas on what is causing the stalling issue I found with my car.

Although it runs quite well and has no hesitation, I noticed on a quick stop or turn to either direction or long turn taken quickly, like an off ramp, the RPM's drop to the point of stalling, if I put it to neutral or clutch it and don't touch the gas.

I noticed that the fuel in the fuel bowl sight glass was halfway up, which is where Quick Fuel says it needs to be. But Keith Craft Racing told me to lower it to the bottom of the sight glass, which I did, but it made no difference.

Any ideas where to go to next?

Other data:
Shelby FE 527 built by Keith Craft
Quick Fuel Q850 carburetor
Idle was 1200, I just lowered it to 750-800
Fuel pump: Holley HP125 @ 7PSI (gauge shows 5.5-6.0 PSI)
850 CFM
May be a little rich, but seems to run great
