sounds like your timing is way off, got an adj cam gear? make sure it didnt slip or anything. though I could be wrong, when my car did that it was when i was test different timing settings.

You could be having something in your air/filter, intake, or TB. You'd be amazed to see what can sometimes get sucked in. Your timing might be off also.
