Default 40th anniversary engine problems

My friend owns 40th anniversary convertible with LT1 engine and
automatic trans. Engine has 60tkm and runs good. But problem starts when driving fast. It revs up to 5800 in first and second gear but in
third gear it starts to hesitate over 4500 rpm. It feels like something
is wrong with ignition. In fourth at even lower rpms it just won't
accelerate.

I didn't drive the car but this are my friends words. Do you have any
idea what could cause this?

It sounds more fuel related than ignition. have you checked for codes? That would be good place to start.
