Default Power issues

I have a 96 xj 4.0 auto 200,000 miles. Has new fuel pump and filters. New ignition tune up including coil and pick up coil. Fuel injectors are clean and have good spray pattern. It starts fine but lacks power while driving. Sometimes when taking off it stumbles then picks up but still lacks power.I really could use some help with thus problem

Slap a supercharger on there. That'll take care of your power issues.

What kind of fuel pump did you put in there? When did these problems start? Before or AFTER all the maintenance you did?
