I have installed a hotter coil better wires and upgraded plugs so to take full advantage of all the HP parts a better ignition module is in order .. You could find them years back and for the HID stuff can't find one for my 93..

Delco Remy made a good, reliable coil for the Corvette. I'm still using the stock coils in my C3 and C4 (the C4 is turbocharged, and the stock coil and module have plenty of spark capability to deal with the added cylinder pressure during boost).
It's your time and money, but I'd just keep the original coil and module in the system.
There's a sticky in C3 Tech that explains this in greater detail.

I don’t believe anybody makes a ICM with a larger output or a hot ICM. If you want more voltage to the plugs, generally you would get a coil with a different turns ratio in it to get more voltage out of the secondary of the coil. I have never looked for a hotter coil so I can't comment on that.

The ICM is basically an amplifier (some people call it a switch). Regardless, what it does is takes the 5 volt P-P square wave pulse from the ECM/ PCM and amplifies it to about 40 volts P-P square wave. The 40 volts is what is required to input to the primary of the coil. The ICM is a solid state device.

Also, the turns ratio doesn't determine what the coil output voltage is, Please read the post directly before yours.

But you are correct that his money could be more efficiently spent elsewhere.

I was looking for a ( heavy duty ) one like in the link above and yes I was looking for one for my 93 . The Org. one seem to stop working whenever they want to so years back one could buy a ( Heavy Duty ) one .I think its the heat that takes them out , have had a few just stop working and leave me on side of the road from time to time so one like in the link to me would seem it would hold up long term . It had been years that I owned a C-4 but its all coming back the problems I have had over the years driving one and module was one of them . I used to put HD ones in all my C-4s but I guess can't buy them any more . I drive these C-4 and all my Corvettes at times to the limit any part I can install that is heavy duty , I look for the heavy duty parts . I never know when I might pass a track and just see what this old C-4 is good for .A friend said he thought it might go 150 mph in this old thing ,I never tell. Thanks for all the in put ..

At one time they made four pin as well as nine ,like I said a few years back you could get one of the heavy duty ones for most GM cars .. If one would read the description you can see why I wanted one SUPER HEAVY DUTY unit.. Looks like you can't get them anymore..

Looking at the part in question, it looks like an ignition module that is made to control distributorless/multi-coil four cylinder GM engines.
