332 is rated at the crank. When you factor in driveline loss which on average is 12-18% is where you get whp. And of course not every motor is identical though assembled the exact same in the exact same way...its not just calculations as moving parts will differ. Reducing rotating mass such as a lighter flywheel or lighter wheels will even change whp due to less rotating mass = easier to spin and less drivetrain loss. There is no "best" way. There are easy ways, and there are common ways. Easiest way is nitrous with a 50 shot. Instant 50 whp depending on the kit. Common way as stated earlier is intake, high flow cats, cat back exhaust, and a tune. You'll get 50 whp with all the best parts but it does set you up for future upgrades like a tt or sc in the future.
