Default having some issues with my camaro

Well i was driving down the highway the other day and i was about to pass someone. I pressed on the gas and kicked in the passing gear then all of a sudden the car started studdering real bad. I would let of the gas and it would be ok. I had put some 93 oct. gas in it before i got on the highway as well. when i parked the car, i let it sit for a little bit. I came back and it was fine for about 15 mins and then it started again. Later that evening it went into opend loop and it began to run fine. I have no idea what the hell is going on. Any ideas fellas?
