91 chevy 4x4, lots of questions

I am a freshman at Cal Poly, and i recently purchased a 91 chevy 4x4 with a 350 with 150k miles on it. this truck is completely stock, and I have some general questions about it.
What is the difference between the z71 and the 4x4 markings on the truck?
i recently took my truck to the pismo sand dunes, and it seemed to struggle more that the 99 suburban that i have oftenly driven there, even with the newwer all terrains aired down. i am not even sure if it has a limited slip, and if so i was wondering what my options are for better traction.
Also, I would like to add some sort of aftermarket exhaust and air intake, and possibly a throttle body spacer as well. I am not after making the truck loud, but want to get slightly better fuel economy ( and hopefully power!) can anyone enlighten me on which way i should go with these?

Isn't the Z71 have better stock suspension and shocks then noraml 4x4? Not sure on that. How is Cal Poly, I know someone looking to go there for college?

the difference is the decal. they both handle relatively the same, you may get different shocks or rear springs but that is about it.
