Default i got an idea what it is

got a 93 lt1, when i put it to the floor from a dead stop or roll and at mid and high rpm depends on how she feels it acts like it is having a fuel cut or over reving. i believe its the distributor but thought i might see if anyone else has an opinion that might benefit me?
thanks aj

Sounds like a dirty fuel filter to me. When was the last time you did a tune up? I'd say it's about due.

...and this is exactly what I was thinking. I'd change the fuel filter, and run some seafoam through that thing. The fuel cut-out feel is usually a carbon build up.

My two cents, anyway.

could be simple as a fuel filter or it could be your fuel pump. also could be spark whens the last time you put wires and plugs on your car? you should definitely check your coil and icm too. I had the same problem and my icm was in two pieces
