I took off from a dead stop and off the line it seemed all right, but when it got to around 2800 it started planing of and by 3200, the car would not accelerate even with the gas at 3/4 thottle.

I'm thinking it's the pump.
When it is hot and God forbid you run the air, it spits and sputters at an idle after the initial cutting out upon acceleration and just before it dies. Trust me on this. I know that car like the back of my hand.
