Question Car Runs Like %&#@ At WOT

Last night the car was running fine, till I floor it.... This is when it runs like %&#@!! It wouldn't get pass 5 grand!! I dont get it....No miss, idles fine. Thinking I would just check it out in the morning. Got up this morning to see what I could come up with. I noticed that it look a little longer to get it started. Then I decided to take it down the road and see if it will do it again. Now this is what I dont understand, car runs fine all the way to 6 grand like there was nothing wrong with it. (more gray hairs to come!) Only thing I can think of is that the opti is about to take a dump! I dont mind changing out the opti since this one has about 120k miles on it. But I need to know what you all think before I go out and buy a opti and then it not being the problem.

Opti??
Fuel Pump?? (Dont think this is the problem)

Nah, dont think thats the problem, 'cause I just changed the fuel filter out last week when I did the oil change... As I stated, the car ran fine this morning.
