Default fuel problem?

ok so ive been havin this problem for a while... still trying to figure it out.... heres what it does

anywhere from idle to 6k if im at very light throttle, just enough to get it to go slowly up to 6k in 1st and 2nd it runs just fine
however, once i hit WOT above 3k it backfires badly, and runs like shyt... all my electrical stuff is connected well, donesnt throw any related codes at all, but its very obvious that something is wrong.

im thinking fuel injectors? thats all i can think of? anyone have any other ideas? or able to confirm that? see i think its that because its not asking for as much fuel at part throttle as it is at WOT, so are they just old and need cleaned/replaced? i would say its not my tps, only because if i go WOT under 3k im fine

so help my *** out!!!!

Mine does this sometimes too, but it's not as big of a problem as you are describing, it will give one (almost un-noticable) pop once I start getting into my powerband (around 3k-4k). I think that I may be running slightlylean with all of this warmer weather. I'm going to try decreasing my timing just a tad and increasing my fuel pressure for a temporary fix until it gets tuned.

Could be your coil, module, pick up. Any of the secondary ignition for that matter.

Watch your fuel pressure...that might be a good place to start.
