Because every day now i feel the take off is improving (less vibration). About the noise, I had the hood open while my friend start up the car, the noise was coming from the belts!! It squeaks for few seconds and it goes away! I replaced all belts about 3k miles ago!!
Ok..there's a difference between a NOISE and a VIBRATION...

if it's a vibration while the car is in motion that wasn't there before you did the clutch job, then there are only a few things you could have screwed up during the clutch install. I'd suspect improper torque on the pressure plate bolts. If the flywheel was removed for resurfacing (which is the only right way to do a clutch job), then I'd also make sure the flywheel bolts are evenly torqued.

EDIT: I see you have the Fidanza unit...same applies..bolts must be evenly torqued
