My money would be on fuel, too. Did it come from your drum at home, or did you buy it at the track? I had a drum of Torco 110 that sat over the winter. When I got the car out this spring, it wouldn't run to 60 ft! After spending several hundred upgrading/replacing the ignition system with no improvement, I tried a tank of VP 113 and it ran like a scalded dog.

for the price of an oil filter I would cut it apart to see if there is any trash in it....

How about checking the key on the F.I. Pump shaft to th pulley, perhaps the pulley is slipping when the pressure builds up?
I would also verify that tha barrel valve linkage has not rotated out of position (Leak down test it) like wise the fuel shut off linkage.
CheckThat the pill and return line are not blocked.
Dissemble and check the filter. And if applicable the high speed poppet
It's probably a good idea to cut open the oil filter as Wayne has suggested.
