I was thinking it could be the fuel filter too but I dont have a lot of experience with cars. ok now dumb question...where are vacuum lines?

If you have a digital camera, now would be a good time to snap a couple of pics and post them. Most of the folks on the forum know what looks stock and what has been modified..they can spot whether the motor has been hot-rodded by a previous owner.
Stumble on WOT acceleration is not a mechanical problem perse...all motors can do it, it'* usually fuel/air mixture or ignition related....hence all the suggestions to go look for leaks, bad sensors, and sparkplug related items.

Those plug wires dont look stock, look like 8mm or so. Cant see the back wires. Want to see if there close to manifolds or to close to O2 sensor wire.
Can you remove teh supercharger cover so we can see the vac lines?

Do me a favor and check plug wire #4 at the coil. Is it me or does it look a little off? Pull up, twist and push back down, so it'* seated. Could be nothing, but worth a check.
