Default few performance questions

hi all, i have worked on gms most my lift and am getting my first jeep. a 95 cherokee. tho motor has 65k on it. i do a 90 mile round trip to work. my supercharged 420hp gtp is sucking up 93 like no tommorrow but thats on its way out anyways.
i know engine building and all im just interested to see what real people not product margins do for daily relability and some umph. i had to promise the wife i wasnt gonna pull this one apart so basics. what plugs, ignition, exhaust etc. its auto so is an aux cooler a good idea. i know its lifted 3" and has 31's so id like to mid range it between hwy and dirt. any info is apriciated.

99+ intake, dodge 2.4 0280155703 injectors, APN header, Big bore throttle body, better flowing exhaust. You'd be suprised at the difference.

put the regular champion plugs in it, cold air intake(homemade if you have the ability) Upgrade the 5 main cables to at least 4guage,and radiator flush and new hoses. also put the better distributor cap and rotor on it.
