Exclamation Stage Confusion...What to do/get?

I am looking at a few stages from different companies as well as doing my own. So far it comes down to...

Rebel Autoworx - Stage 2 upgrade
http://rebelautoworxs.com/product_in...products_id=32

Intense Racing - Stage 3 or 4
http://www.intense-racing.com/

have to go look at the intense ones through website.

Or Should I go through an make my own kit and have it tuned by a local shop?

Also with any of the kits I will have supporting mods for it exhaust, cooling, ect...even tho I am sure those kits made the hp with exhuast kits already on the car. Looking for best value and greatest hp gains for the money. Thanks for the help. Sorry for any confusion on this subject.

Our Stage 2 Upgrade is Proven on the dyno and the track.
We have cars running between 13.8-13.5 depending on mods with our tune.
One of the guys is running 13.8 with just an intake and our tune.
Safe and reliable tunes for daily driving.

If your looking for the best value and power, make your own kit with 60s, a 2.8, and get tuned with hp tuners.

I dont know if you know of thses shops but the few I was going to talk to was, A&M..just opened in aurora, AMS...Right out side chicago I know the have done some SRT's even though its not a Cobalt, and last was FLP in Naperville. You ever heard of them? If so any info about them relating towards cobalts and what not? Thanks
