Default Car died today on highway

I was acclerating onto the entrance ramp to freeway car at full boost as I hit the far left lane. All of sudden loud swishing sound then no fuel. Car just shut off. I make it to the shoulder and car starts then cuts right off. Strong smell of unburnt fuel. Car is at local dealership.....and is heavily modded. Im nervous. What do you guys think?? Fuel pump? I thought I had blown a hose or something but I couldnt find it.

I would bet so, probably detects the hose missing and knows better than to try and run.

I believe it's the large black hose that goes to the intake manifold
