Also, If I slowly ease into her, she fine all way up to top speed, 6000RPM for long Hwy run. AKA, dusting that BMW who thought he was fast on the 2 mile straight.

I have Elec fuel pump, Holley Blue, and a .110" inlet seat.
Would you think its the small inlet seat not letting enough in when I really accel hard? Letting bowl drop and fuel slosh to uncover jets? Ir pump not keeping up to the acceleration demands?

Only happens on a Hard launch or accel when there lots of 'push you into the seat' G forces.
I can burnout for days no issues either
Kinda sounds like you don't have enough fuel in the tank and aggressive driving sloshing the fuel is uncovering the pickup for a second.
