Default problem with accelaration

im havin a problem with me accelaration. wen i start off, for example on a flat surface, i am accelarating okay in first and i shift at 3-3.5k RPM and then into second and do the same. wen im in third i press the pedal to almost the floor to go faster but it seems like im drivin at the same speed, but as i start to let off the gas it begins to start to kick out and i am accelaratin faster wen lettin the gas out. i thought it was becas my rpms werent up but i also tryed this with my rpms at many dfferent points. this could be the same within 1rst and second gear too but i just dont really feel it as much as 3rd and 4th gear. im srry if this seems a lil confusin to read. help please?

Sounds like your car is bogging? Do you see any smoke at all? When was the last time you did a tune up and misfire can cause what i think your describing. Check you cap and rotor and fuel fitler the usual things to see if anything is off first

Dont tell me you have a MSD cap on there do you? If you do, i bet anything one of the ignition wires is gettin snagged by thr rotor inside the cap. Just re-locate the wires out of the way.

it really really sounds to me like your ignition timing is off or you have bad spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap or rotor. check those parts.
