Sounds like heat soak. I had it this past weekend, this is how I fixed it.
Buy some of this stuff at an autoparts store.
Wrap your injectors like this.
Worked for me.
An extra step would be to install a heat shield b/w the intake manifold and exhause manifold shown here.

Hood vents may help too. Personally I prefer not to cut into the hood. Some people add washers and longer bolts to the hood bracket to raise it up. I have thought about doing that, but haven't made up my mind. My temps are 200-215 all the time, so not worried atm.
