he just recently did a full tune up do you guys think an intake of fuel regulator might improve it

make sure the plugs, wires and spark gaps, cap and rotor are good before you go to bigger things.
I would say those are the number one reasons for choking in acceleration.

throttle body service.. clean it out nicely with air intake/ throttle body cleaner and a tooth brush.. then empty about half the can into ur motor while its on, make sure to unplug the MAS, you should feel a real diffrence after that
