Default First mods! clutch/flwheel, pulley, test pipes

I figure I would share my experiences with some new mods on my car

Well I installed all of this about 2 weeks ago and just got my clutch broken in a few days ago. I installed the following: JWT clutch/ ACT prolite flywheel, megan test pipes, and an UR lightweight pulley. The new clutch and flywheel are awesome. The car revs so much faster now. The chatter from the flywheel is less than stock(my stock was pretty loud). The test pipes are resonated and my car now sounds awesome. I have a stillen td exhaust and there is only rasp when I first start it. Once it warms up, the rasp is gone and it sounds awesome. It has a much more deeper sound now. Everyone that has heard it loves it and says they have yet to hear a 350 around here that sounds that good. As far as power gains go, it feels like a whole new car. It has so much more acceleration now when I take off. As soon as the car hits 4k, it is a very noticeable difference and feels like it has much more power. When I downshift, it feels like it has more power now as well. It feels like I am driving a new car now. It is so easy to shift extremely smooth now with the new clutch. The only thing I don't really like is that my engagement point for my clutch is still too close to the floor for me so it makes it harder for me to shift fast. Now I guess its time to test it out against a few ppl that would edge me out before when I would race them
