new toys

i just picked up some parts for the old family car. i have had a nasty exhaust leak for a while now and i finally got around to getting what i need to get her up to par. went with the dc sports ceramic header and greddy evo2 exhaust. i also realized the other day while backing out of my garage that my throw out berring was making some noise so i figured since i have the money i might as well just fix that too. so i went with the exedy organic clutch and the act streetlite flywheel. i am hoping to see a good improvement from these mods considering the dough im dropping. total comes to about $1480 installed. i already have a cai on it so this should be a great compliment. anyone have any comments or suggestions at all???
i am alos looking into the crower cam and valve set up for the future anyone running those now. i would like to hear the pros and cons of the valve train upgrade with these motors. i have never really been a huge honda guy i also own a 01 s10 that is getting a t3/t4 turbo that i am fabricating the kit for. it will put out much better #'s than the d17 that is why it is getting the boost instead. besides i dont want the wife to have to worry about reliability if i did boost the vic.
thanks in advance

had to do the random tech cat pipe too. next is eibach prokit and kyb agx's. then comes the brake kit. i already have drilled and slotted rotors but stoping 18" rims with a 10" rotor is quite a job and i go through rotors like no other. so i figure the best way is to just do it right and get bigger brakes. all this will be done within 1 month, then ill post up some pics.
