you might need to adjust the spring load, if its open too long the motor will die. Or it may need to be moved along the pipe

So it wont be your cam, some big cams can cause low vaccum. You problem sounds similar to very early turbo cars, such as BMW 2002 etc, they would cough and splutter and almost stall after being on boost due to the compressor stopping and partly blocking the exhaust.

for ****s and giggles take off the bov, introduce it to the rubbish bin, block up the once used hole and see how it goes. you might find the stalling fault goes away. i had this problem once, moved my afm closer to the throttle body, got rid of the toss off valve, made a world of difference
