Question, I'm an R1B1C, if I do the sub Clade test and get a # to go with my present rating will that give me a finalizaton on my pre american ancestry?

What waits next? A LONG wait! I belong to Batch 155 and FTDNA is not even close to predicting my R1b1c* *subclade. So just sit down and wait for a long time as FTDNA doesn't care one way or the other about the wait you are about to impose if you choose to spend your dollars for that R1b-SNP test...
WAIT...WAIT...WAIT!!!

It is barely possible that you might be classified as R1b1c4, R1b1c6, or R1b1c7. If so, that is of some value, though it does not localize as much as you are hoping. As another poster says, R1b1c9 and R1b1c10 are more interesting, but are not tested by FTDNA.
The general rule is that You should not even consider a deepSNP test until after you have upgraded to the full 67 markers. At 67 markers, your haplogroup and even your subclade will usually be obvious, either from specific marker values or simply from your nearest neighbors. More importantly, your 67 markers will give the fullest possible indication of who else you might be related to, and how far back.
Only after upgrading to the full 67 markers should you even consider a deepSNP test.
That's my opinion, anyway. As you can see, I have been underwhelmed by FTDNA's deepSNP tests, including their agonizing delays. I really wish FTDNA would offer a simple 1-SNP test for, say, $20, simply as a double-sure confirmation of one's haplogroup.

A company in England called Ethnoancestry offers tests to break down R1b1c into subclades that Family Tree DNA doesn't test for. However, you are more likely to be positive for these if your R1b1c ancestors came from the continent: France, germany, Switzerland, Italy, etc. Go to www.isogg.org to get details about these additional haplogroups.
My R1b1c ancestors were Swiss. Ethnoancestry determined that my y-DNA is S28+, which means R1b1c10, which happens to be concentrated in the Alps. Yet Family Tree DNA & ysearch.org still call my results R1b1c*
