this should help for the "smok'em yourself" part of the question,
As far as fuel tweaking, is that not controlled by the airflow through the MAF sensor? some say you can play with them by taking them apart, but I think there is a consensus that there is nothing to be gained by doing that...
I will defer to thoes who know more than I do in the fuel dept.
but, did you check the condition of these?;
Fuel filter
Injectors
f/ lines
F/pump
I would think any of these in poor condition may cause a lean condition...
just my .02
Cheers,

First off, 95hp out of a 21 year old car that only had 121hp to begin with isn't bad at all.
Now smoking the lights, there are a few DIY threads in the FAQ and DIY section. I have a different way that works for me. Check my car and E30polak's car and that is my work.
As for the fuel problem. Don't fuck with the AFM. They are designed to work one way and tweaking them only screws them up. The first thing you should do is get a new fuel pressure regulator and clean your injectors while you're at it. The lean problem can be cause by, clogged fuel inlet line, dirty or clogged injectors, a fuel pump going out and many other things but start with the easiest and cheapest first.
