How much HP would I lose...

By running really really rich? Could that be a serious problem. I go through gas like crazy and my car doesn't seem to be running close to as fast as it should. By the way this is on my 87 TII. Could a bad fuel filter be to blame for either or both of these problems? Thanks.

Is the car stock? Have you done any mods?

How does the exhaust smell? Do you get any black smoke? How are your plugs? And like von said, check the TPS.
