Are you set up to measure fuel pressure? First thing I'd suspect is fuel pressure (fuel pump or fuel filter)...an engine dying that fast usually isn't a single injector. If you aren't set up for fuel pressure measurement, you could just take it out on the open road and see how well she maintains high speed...usually a restricted fuel path won't allow a whole lot at top end.

I'm not a big fan of shotgunning parts, but if the fuel filter is pretty old, you could just try changing that out.
