Could find some cams for the 2.4. Crane 16s are pretty mild with the long stroke of the 2.4. It'll make it more peaky though, which isn't exactly good for a crawler like a jeep. The 2.4 will respond well to a good intake manifold design, but again, losing runner length will make it slightly more lethargic between 1K and 3K rpms.
If you're feeling brave, the SRT-4 turbo bolts onto the head and can be found for around $200. A little work, an RRFPR, and some $$ later, you could have a jeep with a nice flat 200ft/lb torque curve from 1500 RPM up. Swap in SRT internals add more boost and fuel and bump that to 300 ft/lbs.
I'm rambling a little here. There are options for you, but not many of them are real good in the jeep's power band. A small turbo is the only thing that will put a big grin on your face.
As far as milage, Keep the air filter clean, don't haul around extra weight, and keep your foot out of it.
