Oh trust me, i hear ya man, i already have life insurance, an IRA, and starting CD's i can roll over in the near future, I took Personal Finance in college, and it was the best thing i've ever done. I put any extra money i can into it. Of course i currently dont make enough to put much of anything in them :/ Thats why i would like to get this job so i can quit the two im in and worry about one and school... 1 and a half years left before my bachelors and then off to OCS... Would be nice to get stationed in the same state, but i know thats almost impossible...

What job do you have??? Why is it so hard to find jobs that pay that much here in FL... I'd be lucky to find a job with that pay my age... The one downfall in FL, is since most things are lower cost, the jobs around my area pay Sh**.
lol still waitin on that winning lottery ticket.

Hillsborough, but there is a big difference i found between Hillsborough and other counties, south of us everything is higher and job wise, my step mom from Miami, a friend in Key West... I guess we just got the short end of the stick. Dont get me wrong there are some high and nice places in this county, but sure as heck not within 30 min of driving any direction from where i live.
Third house down.
i like, but only one in this list for Hillsborough.The 23 Most Expensive Homes For Sale In Florida - Business Insider
(notice most are south in Palm Beach and Miami...) i like how it says Billionaires row in Palm Beach... So many nice houses... Only nice area around here is Cheval... Im sure you have heard of that neighborhood... If not then what?? lol
*Sorry slightly turned off topic* I would def do what you are doing to your car if i had the deep pockets, and def add that turbo. You will def be a unique sonic for doing that. 2.0T
sounds wonderful...

Went to Topspeed Motorsports today. The bore might be out of the question lol. but..they r convinced the the 2.0 cobalt engine could fit. idk what to do now....for a complete engine swap and tune they quoted me.....$12,000.......But they would like to work with me so thats a plus
They also recommend the nitrous shot and turbo..but im going to have Dave do that.

true. idk what to doooo!!!!!!!
i might build the 1.8 all the way...(buy the 2.0 engine during this time and set aside money for the swap)laborsmith

I vote for the swap. Mainly to see if it would work.
I dropped a few thousand into turning a 1.8 in a J2000 into a 2.0 and nothing good came from it. (Well, the mechanics did well but not I.)
If I had a 1.8 I would try a Vortech V-9; 6-8 pounds of supercharged boost and no need to upgrade internals. Upgrade internals then increase boost with a pulley change - not even Preloader nor Stratton would be standing after that.
The Vortech with upgraded fuel pump and injectors: scary!
As the saying goes: Nothing replaces displacement.
The question then, will the trans hold, but not really a question as all so far proposed points to a clutch upgrade at the very least.
All that said, I admit I am partial to supercharging.
