bad hesitation on hard acceleration?

when ever i try to go wot, there is about a 4 second delay before it finally kicks in and even then it seems like its not going very hard. do you think a tune up could help fix this(ie spark plugs, wires, distibutor cap, rotor, coil) or something else maybe? thanks.

It could possably help but my best guess at this point is a vacuum leak. Might wanna pull a few plugs i suspect thell be on the white side.
