Default zetec cutting out

on my 2.0l zetec it sometimes dies on full throtte at about 4-5000rpm.
i think its running out of fuel coz after few secs it comes back again, and if you boot it again straight away it dies again.
i was wondering if its down to the 90 spec xr3i fuel pump not being up to the job.
maybe boost valve will make it better?!?!?!?!?
it shoul be around 150+bhp so i dont think the efi fuel pump is up to that?
opinions??????????????????????????????

Do an amps draw trest on your pump, it could well be knackered.
