Default Car sputtering...

When i'm driving slow my car is okay but when I gun it the car sounds like it's farting. Sounds like the car is not getting enough gas or something...
Anyone have this problem or know what's wrong?

running too rich is better than too lean....
I think only way is to get your car tuned with VAFC or aftermarket ECU.
