My engine almost frieked me out

Last Sunday was a nice day, so I took my 79 out for the first time this past year, its is still sitting at mom and dad's, so I can't really do anything to her now. I took her out, and couldn't resist beating on her a bit, slammed it into first at 40, and went into second at about 55, I was doing aver 4 grand, and it seemed like my engine completely cut out. First thought was oh no, valves are floating. let off the gas, and she ran fine. Just wondering what might have happened. No problems, just that one time thing. For those that don't know, its a 351M, with a 4bbl Holley, Edelbrock performer, mild cam, dont' have the specs with me, dual exhaust, bored 30 over. Any ideas, or could my ignition just have been acting up a bit also?
