Most logical and effective upgrades

I have a LB9 in my 88 Iroc, I have a Jacobson Ignition and a Superchip, and a pair of large shorty headers in the box I will put straight pipes on when I install them. My question is what's good, reliable, best bang for my buck power? I can get a crane cam with lifters for $215, which sounds good, but I definitely have a lot more to learn about this engine before I can determine what it needs most.

I am thinking a muffler is what it will need the most.
