Throw some gears in it and wake it up,a stock Gt with an Intake shouldn't need a tune at all,a tune-up yes maybe but no tune is really necessary..

Should I get a tune up at a local shop or buy a handheld tuner? Both will cost about the same from what I could find so far. My issue is that car doesn't accelerate like it used to and is slow to pick up under full throttle.

Thanks caFords!

like sic9250 said intake alone wouldnt need a tune n it sounds like just cause you switched mid pipes for smog it feels sluggish. (could just be a mind trick lol)since its not as loud... throw some gears in it and wake it up but then you'll need the tuner to fix the speedo
