ECM/performance upgrade questions...

'97 SEt, 64k miles, stock. Is it safe to install a Stage 1 ECM from Speedparts without getting anything else (air filter, wastegate, etc.) or should I just wait until the supporting performance parts are in place? I'm not looking for a racing machine, just better get up and go.
How essential is a steering brace with the extra HP/torque? I'm planning on installing an SAS rear sway bar and Bilstein front shocks soon, will that be sufficient?
Finally, anyone have mileage reports before/after upgrades? I'm getting crap mileage now anyway (Los Angeles Westside) but if this puts me in the SUV category I'll reconsider. Speedparts/Taliaferro says to use 92 octane fuel, but i haven't seen higher than 91 around here. Seeing as gas prices are already outrageous I don't want to go searching for this elusive high octane fuel.
thanks all in advance!
