I'm confused with your post. You're asking if you "could tell a difference" if you installed all you mentioned above? Short answer yes. Heck you'd notice a difference on a tune alone. Your list sounds fine. I'd go a different route before I do power. (MGW, Oil Separator, catback etc). If you're going for a tune, make sure it's from a reputable source.

A good tune and midpipe is probably biggest bang for your buck. You did not provide budget? Are you doing the install yourself, if not then you need to figure labor. Is your car auto or manual?
If you have 2000 grand to blow (including labor) then adding 8-15hp with headers is an option. You can spend $250 bucks with any 3" offroad midpipe will give you 75-80% of the gains of headers.
The CJ intakes are really great performers without the torque loss if your running less than 3.73 gears. Go with a VMP 67mm twin bore and any tuner can get you going.
Supercharger, turbo, nitrous....there are lot's of options.

I would go with the GT350 intake as it makes the same amount of power as the Boss does, but doesn't lose the little bit of low end power. All you need is the intake an adaptor for the TB and you are pretty much all set. A little bit of mechanical know how and you can easily put it on. There was a guy who did it to his car that was stock minus the GT350 intake and airraid CAI and made around 400HP on a conservative dyno. So GT350 intake and off road pipes should help out pretty decently.
Lund over Bama all day every day. If you have E85 around you I would go get the Lund Flex Fuel tune which allows you to switch from E85 to 93 without issue. you would just have to swap out the injectors to E85 friendly ones.

The N gauge has the cool factor to it, but you can still do the same thing with the X-4 as you can the N-Gauge and save some money. I mean in the end it is up to you. If you would want the N gauge go for it, they are pretty cool looking. Are you in California?

No in Wyoming ! I like the n gage just because it's little and keep it in the car but either way whatever is better ! Act in case I decide to try a different tuner would be nice but Lund seems to be good

If you're asking if Lund or AEM or Bama?
The last option shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath - dig around, and you'll learn the reputation of Bama. Of that list, Lund hands down.
