Default What should I do next?

Well, in the past year I put in a new Edelbrock Performer II intake manifold, upgraded to a maf, shorty headers, flowmaster exhaust, and 3:73 gears. I've a little dough saved up and am not exactly sure what I should do next. I thought about heads, but I think I'll wait a little longer for that. Any suggestions?

I've got a 5 speed. Runs really nice. Car is a 88 with only 55k on it. I don't really think the dude who had it before me beat it. I've been a little rough on it, but it seems to handle the abuse quite nicely.

If you had the choice between new heads/cam, supercharger, or both which would you do?
