Kind of random, but still somewhat on topic,
will that act/oem clutch combo eliminate clutch slip on fast shifts?

Definitely get the clutch installed prior to doing the S/C as the engine cradle gets lowered to install the clutch. Aftermarket exhaust is not a must as the OEM is pretty good. However, your OEM cat will probably be short lived. If you do decide to go with an aftermarket header I would suggest putting it in with the clutch install as the OEM one will be unbolted to install the clutch. Might as well bolt up the new one since you already have the old one unhooked.
I put a Mishimoto radiator in mine, mainly because the neck on the OEM one broke as I was taking the upper hose off. Here in Ohio I have not been able to get mine hot enough to kick the fans on yet. If you do go with a Mishi/Koyo you will need slimline fans as the OEM ones wont clear the boost tubes.
You will probably be wanting to go to a heat range 8 plug, especially since you are in Florida.
You planning on doing the S/C install yourself? It's not terribly difficult if you know the sticky points ahead of time. You won't have any regrets with the Kraftwerks kit. The guys (Joe and CJ) at Skunk2 (the mfg rep for Kraftwerks???) are some of the best people I have ever dealt with.

Also, if oem radiator is fine I'll keep that. Just not sure if I should change coolant as I hear every 10 yr is a good time. This would be going on 8 yrs. and for Plugs I didn't know I needed different ones. Thx for that. Any specific plug you have used?
I'm guessing a boost gauge and oil pressure would be nice add ons as well.
