Lost power! bogging? Goes/Comes

1992 z28 camaro, 5.7l V8

Turn key, fuel primes, crank it, roars to life, does great

about first 20 minutes or mIles (depending on the trip, power is present, it's responsive as hell

anything after that it's a gamble of wether it will do this or not, but after that 20 minutes or miles, when accelerating it will bog down, more acceleration will get it out of this "rut" but it's not pleasant to the ears or feel.....it does this in 3rd gear I believe, when at low speeds it goes back to being non-existant, and after being accelerates out of its "rut" on say the turnpike, it slowly returns to normal driving
...I've replaced the fuel filter, I plan on checking pressure soon, stand alone, and will try to get some tests while it does its thing

anyone experience this too? any info helps

Still have the stock Multec injectors installed? If so replace them.
