Default 2001 Grand Cherokee changes ???

I just took my GC to my mechanic for a thourough going over before winter plus I haven't really gone through it since I bought it about a year ago and he fixed alot of things:

Replaced leaking water pump
Flushed the rusty radiator
Flushed the heater lines
Replaced passenger side tie rod
fixed broken window regulator
fixed tail light that was out
put in all new spark plugs
turned the front rotors
plus a few other things

The thing I want to discuss is the spark plugs.... the previous owner had spark plugs that were gapped at .080" and the new ones were gapped to the proper .035" or something like that......... How will this change affect my Jeep? What improvement should I see from the correct spark plugs with the correct gapping?

I would say a hotter/fatter spark resulting in more power and better mpg.

That's what I was thinking too. That will be a nice increase.
