Hesitation after burnout.

Hi, LA 360 here with a A727 3:23 gears 8.75 rear. street/strip cam and holley 670 4150 vaccum seconds. So i was out testing the car for vibrations after checking out pinion angle. So i lifted the trans about a half inch to get somewhat correct pinion angle only thing i did before test driving. Anyways; did a few pulls worked like a charm like it always have. Started doing donuts but then, right after i was done it started hesitating and started makikg a ticking sound when accelerating too fast. Revs perfect in natural but hesitates when going to fast on the throttle and this small repeated ticking sound comes. When ticking sound goes away it starts accelerating. Changed the coil and checked the distributor for any failures. everything looks good.
