I had a similar problem with my 97 formula about 2 years ago. Mine would bog in the 3-3500 range for a second then it would get after it after that. I thought it was a fuel pump on its way out as it didnt do it all the time. I ended up taking a shot in the dark (there where no warning lights on) and replaced both of my o2 sensors and that fixed the problem.

Not enough info to help you diag your car but i used an auto zone opti with an msd cap/rotor and spun it up to 7grand for 2 years with 200 shot and work great i still have it on a self somewhere since i got a lifetime warrenty. Good luck with your fix and stay away from ebay and lt1 stuff
