cams are about the same price as LTs...but a lot of people cant install cams themselves, so then you pay a lot of labor, need a tune, etc...it costs a good chunk more for cams than LTs... and you cant compare the price of FI to the price of LTs... we dont know anything about his financial situation, and saving up for FI may not be in the cards
if i had a stock 2v stang, the only mods i would do are gears/midpipe/weld in mufflers/tune (maybe just speedcal and mils)
anything else imo is a waste of money on these cars... i said for him to get the LTs only because he showed no desire to severly mod his car...he was asking about exhaust only...and yea, LTs sound good
if you just want a mild modded stang i would go for it

But yeah as far as LTs being worth it when you are doing full bolt-ons, yeah i would do them. There were a few posts about the nice gains you see from them.

Yeah that is cool. I was just expressing my opinion, which seems similar to yours. My car has just a midpipe, weld-in mufflers, gears, and a tune. But rather than get into cams&heads and LTs down the road I will just be saving money and maybe get a procharger.

UDP's are gay and pointless. (Unless almost free and made by steeda) Electric Water pump would give me more of a warm and cuddly feeling before UDP's. Not huge re-gains in power but definitely worth 10 up top.
Shorties are worth 7-10, LT's are about 10-18 brand and CAR depending. I don't know many cars that have ever gained more than that even with Kooks.
I'd worry about tires, trans and axles first, but that's just me... Hell, I even wish I would have done the supporting mods before my blower. I was afraid to launch after I started making power.
The very first thing I would have done to my car would have been Gears, Axles and of course tires. Then Clutch.
If I thought about it I would have done full suspension with a K-member before the blower.
