Default Looking for new mods

I'm looking to install some new stuff on my LT1, in particular a cam, rr's, and other small things.

my car as of now is pretty much stock, other than the exhaust, jet hot LT's, no cats, dual bullet mufflers.

I've seen/heard a lot about the Comp Cams XFI LT1 Cam (218 / 224) but don't know if this would push my engine over the edge, or not. Also, I've been looking at Com cams hi-energy hardened pushrods (stock length), CC pro-magnum 1.6 rockers to go with it. Don't really know much about cams, and what not, so anything else i might need, please let me know. Or if anybody has any other reccommendations for cams, or upgrades in general let me know.
I'm not planning to do anything ridiculous with the engine anytime soon, just wanna get a little bit of a power boost before putting the engine back together.
Thanks in advance.

Underdrive pullies would be a nice little modification, as well.
