Default Performance upgrades?????

I have been looking at these stage 3 kits from evolution performance and lightning force and the stage 2 from brenspeed. I have always dealt with brenspeed for everything with mine and Eddie's GT's but notice other places have kits with more power.
I am looking for the best kit for the money. I would like over 600rwhp and it to be reliable and safe. If you know over a better deal, kit or if one of these is the best, please let me know.
Thanks!

I think she has an 08 gt500 that she is looking for the parts for....at least thats what her avatar shows and states.....Brenspeed is ok, however for the GT500 I would go with VMPTUNING or Evolution...as their experience with the gt500 is allot greater and proven.

The GT/CS is my old car that I traded for the GT500. I should change my sig. Thanks for the info, I will definitely give one of them a chance.
My hubby, Eddie will stick with brenspeed for his GT so I guess it's ok for me to go somewhere else
And I'm a she.

oops...so sorry, I corrected my post above...I think you would be very happy with either Evolution or VMP...Fred at EVO and Johm Lund does the tunes...they have a few gt500's...JUstin at VMP is top notch and I highly reccommend him,. He too is a marksman with the tunes for these cars as he has tuned several including his own and I can say from experience, of all the tuners, Justin was the best (IMO) not taking anything away from any of the other guys. I also have an advantage as I live near VMP tuning and its even better to meet someone in person and watch the time they put into the tunes as Justin has with my previous car. IF and When I get my car custom tuned down the road (it would possibly be this November) it will be by Justin...he has several options avail...including great deals on upper and lower pulleys , cold air intakes and custom tune that should get you the HP you desire. he also has supercharger upgrades etc. I already have the FRPP CAI and pro cal tune...but might add a smaller pulley and custom tune or at the very least a custom tune this winter.....good luck with your project,,,by the way, your hubbies one luck guy to have a gal as interested in these beasts as you are.....I am so happy to see more and more ladies interested in building these cars...that is so awesome...congrats and good luck...
