is it possible your clutch is slipping? Or does the car pull ahead when surging?

Add a second, or even better, a third fuel pump.

Right in line one after another.

I had this same problem in my car and that did the trick.

My 1/2 bp does that if I try to cruise at 3k or below. If your's isn't ported, look into both fuel and vacuum systems.
