Fuel Problem

Had this happen today, only once so far so maybe its nothing. I was showing a quarter tank in my 98 trans am. I was pulling across a aprking lot and it was acting like it was out of gas. I managed to limp it to a gas station and fill up. Only took 13 gallons so it had 2.5 left. After I filled it its been running great. Im going to run the tank down again and see if it acts up again. This is the first tank since I put the new tuned computer in.

did you turn up the fuel pressure? the pump may have been weak
also the pump is cooled by fuel if its low enough maybe it was overheating
