New guy punching in on this one. Dude, been there and done that. I got my first Camaro my senior year of high school with the crappy 2.8. I bought the car with dreams of building a small block for it, but the reality was I was a full-time student with a part-time job and on $150 a week. After the normal teenage essentials (New music, taking the g/f out, etc.) there really wasn't much left that could buy any real horse power. It sounds like you are already miles ahead of where I was when I was your age (Did I really just say 'when I was your age?!' ), so put together what you have and enjoy it while you can. As someone already said, the fun is watching your car grow is part of the fun.

Oh, and I only recently got my T/A after being out of college and getting married and having a kid 10 years later.
