another ? about lt's do they drastically change the sound of your car? and about how many horses am i looking at

You might not gain much in power form from them just yet, but you will notice a increase in throttle response and your rpm's will climb smoother.

i do want to supercharge but it is more than likely going to happen later rather than sooner so until then i would like to get the supporting mods done, any other good ones within my budget?

Well you can get cams for right around ~$1200, if you can do the work yourself i'd get yourself some cams, valvesprings will run you another $380 or so if u want to run an agressive set of cams. IF you can do the work yourself or with friends for beer or free do cams, otherwise go LTs, 4v labor isn't cheap.
