could be lots of things , have u checked any of the sensors like crank and phase sensors? Does it cut out only when you gun it!!
Get some more info up if possible might be easier for the techys to diagnose for you .

the spec of what i kno is greens,polish/ported head,3 bar map senser,group A coil & stage 2 chip.think there is more but cant remember at min,
it only cut out when you floor it then it will do i loud pop out of exhaust.
we thought over boasting but still does it with low boast.
would it be ok to get it rolling road set up with this problem?
havent checked the senors.it does have a knock sensor in the block.are these any good or does it want getting rid off.
cheers
