best way to add 50hp?

If you want to keep all of that stock and you don't think the full bolt-on arrangement will make enough power to keep you happy, you might want to look at a low-end SC kit (by low-end I mean conservative pulley and tune, not cheap knock-off brands ). Better to go that route right off the bat if you're ever going to, since many of the best bolt-on NA stuff isn't really SC-compatible (e.g. big headers and long-tube intakes).
