Sweet!, so are you doing the install yourself?

I'd test drive it with the stock wheels, then put the 18"s on

No Im not doing it myself cause i want it done right!! But heres the deal, the stock wheels have bad tires on them so I couldnt really push anything, BUT.....
The car on the whole is a tad bit slower on the low end but it makes up for it at about 3000 rpm's and past. The thing that is the most rewarding is that I can tell that the engine doesnt have to work that hard anymore to maintain the speed. It made my car quieter, for REGULAR driving I mean. It doesnt sound any diff to me though. Also I can get to 90 VERY quickly!! All in all, Oh and im putting on the wheels tomorrow!!!!

I noticed some improvement when I added the y-pipe and pop charger (rest of exhaust is still stock, though)

But, I really noticed a difference when I put on the fidanza and ACT clutch. The throttle response seems stellar now.

I also got very good gas mileage coming back from MrGone's house and I rarely went under 75-80. It came out to just over 27 mpg over 200+miles.
