Well, I have scheduled dyno time. My date for the dyno is January 21st at 10am 
Hopefuly Jeff can make the trip with me. I told them 2 would be coming for baselines with air/fuel.

Milli Miglia EV-R 18x8 and 18x9
Tires are Pirellia Winter Snow Sport 240's 225/45-18 front and 255/40-18 rear.
No trouble with the winter tires yet. But they are a winter setup, I don't expect max performance out of them.
My summer setup is as follows:
Axis Hiro's 19x8.5 and 19x9.5
Tires: Hankook Ventus Sport K104 245/35-19 and 265/30-19
Haven't driven on these yet
And I won't until the winter is over. I don't want to take the chance of the salt ruining the finish on the wheelsOh yeah.. for autocross I use my stock wheels with the stock dunlops. Though, this upcoming season I am going to put slicks on. Will probably go with 245's all around.

18x8fr, 18x9rr with 225/40 and 255/35, I'll go for lightweight Volks.
Stock rims with stock potenzas 040 for the track, and when they're finished, four slick or race tires, 245 all 4 corners... oh, and no winter tires for me, 'cause we get snow very rearly here in my country
Thank you my friend!! Please feel free to pm me if you have any good suggestions or you want to share impressions about your street/track setup in the future
I'd love to hear them!

If I ever remove the cat and go straight pipes, I'll be spitting out flames like crazy
Isn't removing the cat illegal? Although flames would be sweet.

Your final drive is determined by your differential.
His total top end is probably higher now though.

Got a reply from GReddy on the oilpan. Will be out in april or so, and the tentative price is 350.00 though that is not final....kinda sucks they didn't include it with the kit, oh well, at least we can get it even if it is extra.
