Default Weird problem

Had My car on the dyno yesterday and several times during the WOT runs, but not all the time, the car would fall on it's face like it hit a rev limiter. Happened at various rpm. Weird thig was I drove the car a little bit, (couple light pulls) to see how she was after the new h/c, and it was fine. Right befroe the dyno I swapped in some used svo 30's. I ordered a new fuel pump, and injectors incase but Im worried that thats not going to fix the problem. Any Idea's?

Thanks

Did you happen to check the fuel pressure?? Have you changed the fuel filter lately. Might be worth checking.

I am in the same boat my 416 SC just ran 19 seconds at 70 MPH and it only dies at the track. I am going to get a fuel preasure gauge regardless, but yesterday we found that the filter was restricted, mind you not horribly blocked, but with the power I am pushing I am hoping that even the small restriction is enough to be the cause. Will know next trip to the track.
