I had the exact same symptoms one time. After a lot of checking things and head scratching, it turned out to be a glob of silicone sealant some previous owner had glommed onto the bottom of the pickup tube inside the gas tank. During normal driving it would run fine, but flooring the pedal sucked up enough gas that it would pull up the silicone glob (like a hinge) and block the tube.
