Sounds like a nice 99.
If the car is well kept, highway miles arent too bad. Much better than the car sitting neglected for the same amount of time. Good find.
A good set of headers and a good flowing connecting pipe would also be good to consider.
Just search around on here for a while you will see trends with parts people use on cars similar to yours and find what works well for you power goals.
