Default Car goes to idle at speed

I have a 91 civic hb with a swaped in sohc 1.6L ZC. At a stand still the engine runs fine, It idles and revs up to the rev limiter with not problem. Oh ya i race it on a oval track. At pace speed its fine with short bursts (30-50 km) When its go time i mash the gas it boggs and sputters and then goes to idle. ive tried to ease in to it its ok but when it gets to a surtan speed? (no speedo) it goes to idle. i restart the car and all if fine. till its go time again. Any help would be great. Thanks



Optional Information:
Year: 1991
Make: Honda
Model: Civic hb
Engine: 1.6 ZC

Already Tried:

Have you checked the ignition timing?

Any CEL codes?

Ignition system -- Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil, igniter unit, distributor sensors?

Fuel pressure?

pr4s i get a 10 and 14 code but sensors were checked and are fine.
on the pm6 and 7 i get a 20 code witch the car dosnt have or ever did. does that matter?
Plugs wires and dizzy are all new.
Fuel pressure i dont know yet what should it be cause im going to change pump and filter and add a pressure guage (guage first i guess) right?

thanks for the reply
