Engine Garggles at 4300rpm? HELP

Ok heres the story I have a 89 formula with a 305 that was rebuilt befor I got the car " I have receipts for EVERYTHING" and on certin nights or days the damn car makes a garggling sound like it maybe starving for fuel? It don't do it all the time just every once in awhile when its running right I can take it up to 5700rpm with out any problems at all this car will scream. I've put an ADS stage 3 chip, K@N filter, open faced breather, removed all smog including the cat, has a flowmaster TCI tranny that I ordered from JEGS, Accel Plugs and Wires "NEW" and many other little mods, can some one please help. Starting to get PISSED! Thanks Guys.
