A custom tune (dyno + Street) will help a good bit. Where are you located?
Its going to take a good cam/head package to pick up 100 rwhp. You can also do a supercharger kit. We are running some specials right now. Emails sales@pcmofnc.com

Some overnight parts from Japan is how we get more HP. OK maybe not, but no chipping is something that was done to vehicles who have a PROM in their ECU (80's and early 90's). Today we do ECU tuning by rewriting the "tune", modifying fuel and spark maps as well as many other things.

I always laugh when people with newer cars say "the car is chipped". I hear a lot of euro tuner drivers say that. That saying was made when obdI cars used an actual chip you had to get made and programmed for the car. 96 and newer cars have an ecu which are tuned directly via a computer and software. The days of the chip are long gone, unless you believe ebay ads.

I'm adding a Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor to my C5 which will power my flux capacitor and time circuits for time travel. I'll have amazing ¼ mile times as I'm going to arrive at the end before I leave the starting line !!!
