clogged cat? never heard of a car throwing up. definately interesting. have you changed the fuel filter? should be an easy thing to do and wouldn't hurt. also run some injector cleaner through. bad o2 sensor also comes to mind. thats all i have for now.

i agree with jeremy, change the filter, in fact, do a full tune-up! i might suggest going a step further than running injector cleaner though. i'd suggest removing them and having them professionally blueprinted, cleaned and rebuilt (or get new ones). after that, i'd probably having the ECU retuned, lean it out downstairs, and keep it just "safely" rich upstairs.
what fuel pump are you running? also, which plugs do you use? and maybe you should think of getting an EGT gauge.
