This sounds like a fuel problem or maybe an ignition problem. If you want to check it you can get a fuel pressure gauge and see what the fuel pressure is when it dies. You can also get an inline spark tester to see if it loses spark when it dies.
Let me know what the results of these tests are and I can help you more.
