Message	Do you have a K&N style conical air filter? Like the JWT pop charger? If so, this could be your problem. Somewhere there is a write up that suggests putting duct tape over the bottom portion of the filter surface and this avoids the stalling problem. Apparently when the car is rolling at speed, there is a weird turbulance thing going on that causes the engine to be starved of air. Some people have even built an aluminium shrowd to cover the lower part of the air filter. Just a thought.
