Default low power

my car doesn't feel like it has as much power..it seems like it accelerates a little slower, not a whole lot but noticeable.. and sometimes it bogs when i get on it, like ill floor it and itll take a few seconds to take off..what do you guys think? i was going to try some fuel system cleaner or something and see if that works?

Check for any vacuum leaks (including EGR or IAC issues.) Clean your MAF sensor, make sure your plugs, wires, and coil is okay..change if necessary. Wouldnt hurt to check your fuel system too to make sure it's not being starved to death (pressure, check filter, AF ratio, etc.) Then again, that all falls under a general tune-up too.
