Default 1st Time Owner 2008 Coupe

Hello from sunny Florida
Just bought a black 2008 Coupe
First car actually, been driving trucks since 17
Absolutely hooked on vettes, have not lost a race yet, the look on Porsche drivers is awesome
Most Mustangs don;t even try
Looking for any advice for new time owners
Specifically, I need some info on the best way to get some more HP and ways to improve gas mileage, I am told a chip may do it
Thanks
Ron
