There isn't much you can do about the mileage. Expect around 15 mpg. And as far as I know, unless you go FI, you won't be able to add any meaningful HP. Good luck with the car.

At the risk of sounding redundant, the "search" function will answer most of your questions and many more you wouldn't have thought to ask. There's a wealth of information here,you just gotta do a little digging. WARNING: Failure to use the search function for topics that have been "discussed to death"(i.e. gas milage,oil usage,adding hp, etc...) may result in serious flamage.

Bad gas mileage as mention, not much that can be done the car runs rich.
You pretty much have the "base" HP adders, maybe add in a test pipe if you can get around emissions standards in your area.
Enjoy
