Which way to go with my st, IDEAS, need some help/opinions Options

[NOVAKx17]

Alright guys, now that i finally have it on the road(ALMOST)
i'm leaving for basic training in may which means i'll be gone for about 6 months
after AIT is all said and done, and in that time i don't plan on spending that much
money! so i'm looking for some opinions as to what i could do with my st.

i was thinking drive it until either 1 it blows up, or starts having problems, or i get a build done.
whatever comes first.

anyways. i'm looking into 3 things. either
A: building the 7a i have on the engine stand from the swap for boost and buying one of
smaays turbo kits for the 7a once i finish the build.
B: building a 7agte, as i've been reading up on them alot lately.
or C: swapping in a 4age. possibly 4agze. but i don't know about that as i'd rather just stay
with the stock engine or hyrbid for the most part.

and that brings me to another thing, please just don't jump in this thread and say "3sgte FTW"
i know all about that and have read countless hours of posts and threads about them and i don't want
to go that route until i buy a gt.

so thanks in advance for all the advice/input

gaining 40hp on a already high strung motor like the 3sge is not nearly as easy (or as cheap) as you guys think, just FYI.

I was shooting more towards the 220 side, but I used the 220-250 range that Mike used just for continuity. I know with a good CAI, header, exhaust, and de-cat, you could probably get 210-220. Then you're right, from then on, it won't be cheap.
