Default Tune up Questions

Yes i searched, and didnt really help much.

So the car is at 66,000 miles. Its a 2004 gt. Its time for an oil change and was thinking its also past due for a tune up.

So what should i do for the tune up?

Spark plugs of course...but should i get a fuel filter too? I have a k&n air filter.

what else? anybody?

Thanks.

Fuel filter=one of the best mods ive done to my car!!! Got 3mpg increase and better throttle response...because I replaced the original fuel filter. lol but that is a good idea.

so is there a special fuel filter to buy out there or are they all pretty much the same?

i looked online at auto zone and they have two. one cost $3 and the other $22. is there a real difference?
