As I see it, your weak link in the whole drivetrain is that 10 bolt rear, both in strength and gear ratio. Even if the Richmond has a super low gear, 308 gears are too high on the strip. Just my opinion.

As for the flywheel and clutch setup, buy the very best SFI approved stuff you can, and a blowproof bellhousing. These things are NO FUN when they come through the floor at your feet. I don't know about you, but I need all my toes for counting. I bet Richard (Tech 1) can tell us some stories of explosions he has seen.
