Default Starving for fuel?

I got an 88 gt. motor has edelbrock upper and lower,cold air intake,24# injectors,gt40 heads,b-303 cam,1.77 rockers,msd 6AL box,msd cap,msd wires,bbk long tubes,off road h,dumped flows.....i think thats it. the problem is that i have a 7k pill in my msd box and when i rev my car out it but it only revs to about 6100 then cuts out. What would cause this? lack of fuel?

Would my setup be alright to run to 7k? i plan on shifting around 6400-6500 but incase of a missed shift would it be alright to hit the 7k mark?

your car won't make power to 7k, not with the b-cam and reworking valvetrain.
