well i would get a cam gear, that way yuo can dial in the correct amount of cam advancement, or retard. also you will need to slap that bad boy onto a dyno. Most cams will help in the top end dept.

Considering they cost the same, if you can swallow the 250+ dollars for springs and retainers, the stage 2 would be much more beneficial.

What do you want... if its daily driven go with Stage 1.
No matter what you get you need a cam gear and tuning ASAP. Tuning sooner if you go with Stage 2. The car will run but not to its full potentional and you will cry when you drive like that for a month or so then get on a dyno and find out how much youve been missing.

so a stage 1 with a cam gear and tunning would be best for a daily driver? and i dont need spring/retainers just tune time?

that would be your best bet. Like stated above if you want to drop the money for the springs/retainers go for it. But you have to factor in the amount of money that you will be spending. So my recommedation would be stage one, cam gear and dyno time.
