Default Stalling issues, auto trans.

Well now my engine is running much better thanks to a weekend with Lars. I am still having an annoying problem. Braking quickly to near-zero speed drags the engine RPM down of course, but if the deceleration is too fast it tries to die before it can recover to idle. Idle is normally fine, 650 to 700 in drive and stable, not too lopey. Is the trans not releasing properly? or is this an engine problem?

Whoops, forgot about this one. Problem's still there so lets go ahead and bring it back...

350 9.5:1 CR, Sportsman2 heads, Performer intake, BG SpeedDemon 750 (tuned by Lars), Hooker headers, 2.5" duals.

TH350 with B&M shift kit and 2000-ish stall, rebuilt 10k ago.

Sounds like fuel sloshing out of the front vent and flooding the engine. Maybe lower the float level a little or raise the vent some.
