Unfortunately could be a lot of things.  Full throttle puts maximum stress
on both fuel and ignition systems, so it's not unusual for marginal problems
to only show up there.

Personally, I would start by temporarily installing a fuel pressure gauge,
teed in right at the front carb (or better yet between carbs if you can) and
brought out from under the hood, to prop under a wiper where you can see it
while driving.  Most automotive vacuum test gauges will also read fuel
pressure, eg

If the pressure drops below 1 psi when the problem is happening; you've got
a fuel delivery problem.
