I am looking for some help getting my 948 cc Bugeye running right.  At the 
recent NSSCC drivers school, I had the car run poorly for about a half a lap 
or so after pushing the car to 7000 rpm on the front straightaway.   The 
problem was not strictly rpm related because the car did not miss at the high 
rpm but after getting the r's up it started to miss and continued to do so 
for about a minute.  Then the problem went away! and the car ran great again. 
 

I am running a MSD ignition with points.  I thought it might be gas pressure 
but raising the fuel pressure from 1 lb to 2 did not help.  I also checked 
the float levels, cleaned the bowls and replaced the fuel filter.  Timing is 
good at 2000 and 4000 rpm.

I'm looking for potential causes.  Any ideas?
