I am going to get a cold air intake and headers for my saturn sc1. How much do you think each will affect my hp and my gas mileage

Not much. I wouldn't even bother messing with a single cam engine. They only make 85 HP out of the box. You should easily be getting 30+MPG city driving. If you're not, something is wrong.
Swap in a DOHC and you gain 40 horses right off the bat and then you have a motor to work with.

If you can find a wrecked twin cam Saturn somewhere you could probably pick it up cheap, pull the motor, part out whats left and maybe break even.
