Answer
Jarred,

It could be that it is running lean and that could cause the problem when it is being loaded like you describe.  I would check the fuel pressure at idle and while it is under a load.  Another item that could cause the problem is when it is loaded could be too much boost.  Check to make sure you are getting proper boost.
