Default RE: Position of throttle while taking vertical nose dive?

A full throttle vertical (or near vertical) dive from 1000 feet could be self limiting because the fuel will drop to the front of the tank leaving the clunk sucking air. At full throttle it doesn't take long for the engine to use up what fuel is in a few inches of fuel line .
