How much for the trans, clutch, and flywheel would I be looking to spend. And lastly, I would be leaning toward longevity and repeatability more that lightweight and fastest.

My observations: #1 Don't go clutchless, go clutch assisted ie Jerico, Gforce etc. You will not be able to downshift so your street fun may be impacted if you have to do the stoplight thing on a regular basis. MT makes a ET street tire that is raced with...but not as fast as the ET drag. The MT tech guy is on the UMTR site oftern. Go to the UMTR site and ask the same questions. Clutch disc, sintered iron of course. PP depends upon your choice, Mcloud, Ram, Advanced,Bonifonte. If you are on a budget, buy a used Jerico and someones hand me down clutch setup.....if not, be prepared and willing to spend MORE than you would for that top notch Pro-trans and convertor setup.
Good luck, spend some time scouring the classified on this site and I am guessing you can find everything you need for a fair price.
