a good driving school!! 50 hp is alot what are you going to do?? hpde drag race , show off, aotucross,
id say heads are the way to go if you go pro charger or turbo you are going to be lookin for a new motor soon.. for the money you have in new heads it will beat the gains of all the other endless crap you can do and be a thousand times more reliable than other mods.

Best option without digging into the motor is headers and 1.6RR and a custom tune.
That should get 50 at the crank.

The quickest way is to do a search on the topic here. This forum is all about modifying C4 Corvettes; plenty of information.

I gained 40rwhp with my mods(see profile). Some nice headers should get over the 50 mark.

Longtube headers, 1.6roller rockers and a custom tune should get you 50chp. If your car is an auto a gear swap and a high stall converter would be the ticket
If you have the 2.59 rear gears a set of 3.75s will do wonders for it.

I hope you're joking. The only decent chip on the market is one made specifically for your car. One of those "out of the box" chips is useless.
