run a koeo/koer test ..check for codes..if none.. check secondary ignition components such as car, rotor, wires and plugs

Partially clogged fuel filter causing it to lean out under a load @WOT?
Like mentioned, a good tune up wouldn't hurt. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor and fuel and air filters.

What cam is in it? Stock? Weak valve springs perhaps.

+1 on the tune up....9 times out of 10 thats your issue with a relatively stock set up....I had the same issue on two of my cars when I bought em....tune up did the trick....you dont want to rev higher than 5100 anywayz...valves probably floating all over the place....ha
