Complete Stage 3 or 2.79" and all supporting mods?

Greetings! It is me again. I have just recently come across a problem with my modding path. I am currently installing my meth kit for my 2.79" pulley and front mount cobra heat exchanger and soon getting the dual pass. I haven't started my exhaust work just yet and saw one of the members on here post that he ran a 12 second flat quarter mile time on a COMPLETELY stock ss/sc. My question to all of you is, "Should I give up my quest with meth and the 2.79 pulley, get a headgasket, studs, forged pistons, and stage 3?" Of course, the clutch upgrade, axles, slicks, and exhaust will be factored into both ideas. In about another 6 months I was going to port and polish my blower, install better bearings and run a 2.5" pulley with 10.1 compression ratio pistons and a bigger shot of meth....tuned of course........ but I always find myself saving and saving and not having as much fun in college like everyone else.....what would you guys do? Thank you for your time and much valued oppinions.

come on? for a fellow hard working college student.....

still nobody????? come on people, just your opinion....no really hard thinking here.

he ran a 12 with nothing but the gm stage 3 kit, bone stock otherwise is what that means. sorry, it wasn't very clear, I was typing and thinking two different things. all he has is the kit with the 50 shot

OK, I understand now. I know who you are talking about to because I have been talking to him about his Stage 3. Is it FNFAST??? I am looking into getting Stage 3 so I had some questions for him, and he does not just have Stage 3. This is his mod list:
GM Stage 3 W/Dynotune 50 Shot
Stage 3 Clutch
Shiney-Hiney Header
Dynomax Catback
AEM Filter
Ingalls
and 223lbs lighter than your average Joe.

Yeah! That is the guy! But still, I have to do my exhaust anyway and getting the nitrous dyno tuned isn't really that expensive, compared to all of the other **** I am going to have to go through with the straight power. Do you know if he has found a way to retain his AC? That is the only thing that is really keeping me from jumping right in on it.

I do not believe so, not officially at least. In one of the other posts another member requested that he post the slip. Don't remember which one it was....will look for it though.
