Tune-Up - Will there be a noticable difference?

Thanks to everyone's posts, it's made for great reading to date and helped me figure out what I should do to catch up the maintenance. I only just bought this vehicle less than 2 weeks ago and am astonished at the lack of maintenance the prior owner did, but he only owned it for 2 years and it was served at the stealer before that.

I'm getting the following work done tomorrow by my indy with parts I sourced from a good on-line parts company:

Spark Plugs (NGK BKR6EQUP)
O2 Sensors (Bosch, pre-cat)
Valve cover gaskets
Brake line flush

Plus I put in an air filter today. The old one literally had chunks of dirt come out of it when I looked at it last week. I got the chunks out (literally a pile of dirt) and put it back in until I was able to get a new one today.


Am I going to have any noticable difference when driving after this service?

BTW, it has 140K KM's on it (88K Miles)

I'm going to do the oil seperator and hoses next. From what I've read it's time and while I don't normally park my vehicle outside, I don't want the wife and baby to get stuck anywhere.
