Cutting out

Alright the truck i have in my sig. is cutting out at high rpm's. Less than a week ago the truck would run great all the way up to 3,500 rpm's and now it cuts out at about 2,800 and above. The pump is set up to run at 3,500. It sounds like it is sucking air or the timing has slipped a little bit. What do you all think it could be?
