I had a similar problem and it was a loose ground for the fuel injectors on the top of the intake manifold. It was fine at average speeds, but when you punched it, the ground came loose. Give that a look.

Look at what i wrote in mexicawrx's post Randy!!! Always a tune. I told you that from day one about the bov. I said to make sure to tune. Call snowmann to get immediate tuning help. Have him check whats up.
