No top end when floored


Okay, here's my problem...when I'm driving along and I push the gas pedal
all
the way down the engine will actually operate worse.  If I let up a little
bit
then her performance will return to a normal state.  I haven't had this
problem
before so I'm not sure what it could be.  Could it be due to the gas not
atomizing fully when I floor it?

36mm Dellortos, ignition system is working.  I put new air filters on the
carbs
and they are (I think) 1 1/4" high -- the original ones where 1 1/2" high so
could it be suffocation (not getting enough air when the throttle is wide
open)?

Clues?  I won't be able to drag race her this Saturday if I can't stomp on
the
gas!
