Do you have any relays in your ignition system anywhere? Relay could be flickering on and off when the car leaves hard. Float level to high maybe and spilling into carb? Band ground somewhere. Lots of possibilities......

I just had a fuel regulater do the same thing. Check the flow at the carb

Secondary air valve opening to quick ??? Check the adjustment on the spring that controls the rate of opening.....Just a guess since it has a Q-Jet.
