Neither, 
especially if you're looking to make 600hp and be properly tuned at the same time.
HP Tuners or EFI Live are the way to go.
I would recommend supercharging to achieve that goal (daily drivable 600hp). And I would call Cartek Performance Engineering (www.cartek.net 908-317-4496) to discuss their awesome kit as well.

..............................
And for the CARTEK package, I just checked it out and looked for the Bloted-on STAGE 3, IS worth getting it for 3445$ ?

You need to take a step back and do some reading.
A lot can be accomplished from a performance standpoint without spending thousands for a handful of horsepower.
600rwhp will require some form of forced induction. Start there. Also, for what purpose is this? Track? Street? Car show? Boardroom garage comparo?

You should probable just look at installing a supercharger, that would get you 600crank hp with no other modifications. Otherwise you'll nickel and dime yourself to death and still not get there. For instance, what you just spent on exhaust won't really add much performance and is nearly 1/3 the cost of a centri supercharger kit.
or any other suggestions ?

It's actually a total bargain compared to $2100.00
for just a cat back exhaust system that barely adds any power at all.
