Hesitation Under Load???

I finally got the car on the road. It sure has power at least when i first started driving her. I used ti be able to floor it ,and the car would take of like a rocket . Know when I floor it it hesitates ,and boggs down. What would cause this? she runs fine as a daily driver ,but when I want to get roudy with it it boggs.Help

I would definately change the fuel filter, they're only a couple of dollars. If that doesn't cure the problem then we will diagnose it further.

The fuel filter was the trick. Only cost $1.07. I took her out ,and she flies. Now I need a 120mph speedo. I only have a 85mph speedo ,and I have pegged her. What a improvement.Thanks
Next will be the front shocks or struts ,and then brakes. Any suggestions?

If you don't plan on doing the road course I would recommend a good set of KYB struts, and as for brakes, Raybestos from your local auto store. If you want to go one step further, the struts will still be good for any performance, but you could upgrade the brake rotors to Powerstop cross drilled rotors and VGX pads. Always remember though, if you run these rotors, you have to run the VGX pads, those rotors are known to eat up standard pads.
