Default PRC 2.5 vs TEA stage 2???

Well I'm ready to ship my 243's out for porting but still stuck on who to go with. My first choice was total engine airflow and go with there stage 2 option but I'm also not trying to just think "bigger is better" I WANT the perfect combo so the stage 1 is still in the air. I've been doing much research and it seems the the PRC 2.5 is really good as well and actually the price is significantly better. SO with this set up which do you guys think is better/correct for my supporting mods...
slp lid
stock tb
ls6 intake
1 7/8th tsp lt's
catless y pipe W/ electric cutout
brian tooley stage 3 ls1 camshaft
3600-4K stall (still haven't decided)
10 bolt w/ 3:73's
100-125 wet shot

I'm willing to bet the performance difference between the 2 is so miniscule that you'd never know it. Id go with PRC if it were me

Yea thats kinda what I'm thinking myself. Obviously who doesn't want that extra couple hp/tq but in reality its a street/weekend car with occasional track fun so it probably won't be noticed

Spend the extra $400 towards a basic nitrous kit and make 10 times the power for that same price difference lol

Never heard anything bad about either. My TEA 2.5s loved nitrous.
