Default Engine adjustments for off roading

Hello, i'm new at this forum, i bought myself a chevy blazer 1992 5,7 v8 on gasoline (benzine) and lpg, i want to keep it and make it better...my question, what ar the best parts for oil pump, gas pump, airco pump, radiator, etc for off roading? This is the first part i want to take, later the rest will follow like the back axel, brakes, steering, shock observers, etc....
I hope to get some feedback...

Thanks

I would argue an air compressor will get you much further off road than an engine tune! You won’t be climbing that big dune with your tuned motor with 40psi in the tires, but a stock motor with pressures right down to say 10psi will have a better chance.

For the most part, I like to buy OEM (AC Delco) parts for maintenance. They just seem to be better quality and last longer in most cases.

For any offroading other than racing, I think a completely stock engine is best. You want it to be reliable and able to idle for long periods without overheating or anything.

As was already mentioned, airing down your tires helps more than anything, and it's free.
