Question camshaft choices

Going to replace head gasket on my '98 Cherokee 4.0 5 speed, thinking about replacing the cam with a earlier 4.0 high output engine cam. Specs show it has more duration and higher lift. Any opinions, worth the effort or better suggestions. Daily driver, mostly highway driving, some towing, don't want to destroy the drivability and fuel economy.

You realize the work involved with swapping a cam, right? Odds are your gonna need to pull the radiator and fans, front facia as well.

I understand whats involved in changing the cam, I going to have the head off anyway pulling the radiator, condensor and facia isn't that difficult.
