Buy TVS. No stage kit will net you 12's.

you can get a stage kit, i would suggest aftermarket with 2.6" pulley and injectors + cooling mods if you want to keep the stock supercharger, but the key things that will produce high 12s are slicks, axles and motor mounts.

I think 12's are too far fetched if you are just starting modding. Start by shooting for 13's. Stage 2 with and Intake should get you into the high 13's. 12's will cost you upwards 3 grand sounds like, but I'm just a noob who knows.

You won't have a warranty going that route... I dunno if it matters... Also the rebel comes with a 2.8 pulley. Which is harder on the supercharged therefore less reliable...

Cheaper in quality or price?

its not sposed to be...the zzp stage 3 is o nly 42lb injectors..the stage 4 has the 60lb injectors an a 2.8 pulley....an its only 624$ w/o the refundable core (meaning you send your pcm in first to get flashed)

Although possible, not likely. There are NOT many people at all with gm stage 2 and 2.9 running low 13's. MOST people are low 14's scratching into the 13's.

you don't necessarily need the axles, but mounts and slicks work numbers for achieving low et's.
