If your gas cap isn't making a positive seal then it (your tank) will vent thru the gas cap (at a slower rate than thru the vent hose, but it will still vent).
Depending on how much fuel is going into the engine it may or may not be enough to starve the engine at high speed but not at low speed.
Check the placement of the vent line like Phat and MJ said, and then if that's not the problem look for blockages in your vent line (like bugs and stuff)
