GM STAGE 2 OR Rebals stage 1

I am looking for for a stage kit but im not sure which one to get.
Please let me know which one is more reliable, one that wont mess up the clutch and best tune.

Rebel stage 1 is the best bang for your buck... but you will need more supporting mods, and will be kind of hard on the stock clutch, as it makes more power.
GM S2 is more of a safe route, as it makes less power, and retains your warranty.

go with the rebel stage 1 but get on the group buy we only need one more so get in on it great deal and you can always look foward with the 60lb injectors instead of the weak as 45lb injectors

rebel stage 1, the 60's alone mean you have more room to expand like said above.
