Help!

my 84 380 SL bogs down when I put the kickdown in to use. Other wise the car
runs fine. I replaced the fule pump relay  to get the car started again but
have noticed whenever I put the metal to the floor the car makes a strange
sound and starts to bog., if I let off the car runs fine. It goes into
normal passing gear but bogs whenever the kickdown is called for. Any
answers???

Make sure the fuel pump relay is for an 8 cyl engine.
