That plug change looks like it went pretty well, if you ask me.

I wouldn't start with the plugs, even though with how many miles she has it could be the problem. but, I had the same issue with bogging down or loss of power above 45 mph. I cleaned my MAF with proper cleaner & replaced my foam seal for the air filter.
I noticed my foam was half gone & once I replaced the foam with a rubber material & made sure it had a good seal. My issue has been gone for about a year now.
So yeah, plugs would be a smart thing to do but $5.00 for some rubber & 15 minutes of you time is far easier & cheaper thing to try. Or at least look at the foam seal as most people notice that its no longer there anyways.
Just my .02¢

She definitely needs those plugs out of there
We always advise baseline get spark circuit tip top first . Hers is beyond the pale . If it's not right nothing else is going to matter much .
