Engine dying: missing a party

Basically my motor keeps dying if it's hot and I give it full throttle or go above 3k RPMS. Temperature is good. Oil good. No water in my oil. It like.. Bogs down, and won't start for a good half hour. It will start for like ten seconds or less, and miss badly, and die. Then after long enough it will start, and be healthy as ever, until it gets hot or whatever it is that it takes a little bit to do.

I'm missing the best party right now! This car is driving me bananas. Someone please help me out.

5.7 TPI? I'd say your fuel pump is dying... the fat lady cometh to sing for you.
