carb problems on a 87 351?

Sometimes when I turn right the engine stutters/ boggs down and when I straighten up and ease into the gas it runs fine. I have heard of this before and cannot remember what it was, I am gonna replace the factory holley anyways and figured that would solve the problem but would just like to know the cause. Thank you for your time

Float levels may be off causing the fuel in the bowel to be too high or too low.

The efi has spoiled me and Yeah it hit me when I was driving it today that the problem is that there is probably not enough fuel and when I turn it starves the motor I will have to adjust it. Appreciate the response
