im not really worried about the n/a drivetrain crapping itself for the first couple races it sees, but im more worried that they really dont make a decent roadracing clutch and flywheel combo for the na drivetrain (maybe i just havent researched it enough) if i get a TII drivetrain, it can easily handle all the stress, and i can get a good racing clutch. so what do you guys think? (experiences, advise, etc.)

you dont really need much of a clutch to roadrace, and flywheels arent class legal for much. if you're in a modified class, then the t2 stuff should last longer

Stronger rear end, axles, driveshaft, transmission, and clutch fork...
Larger clutch disc...
If you want stronger, isn't it obvious?
If we're talking drifting, there isn't any really strong load on the car, unless you crash or you're popping the clutch like a jackrabbit on steroids. The NA drivetrain should be fine, as long as you don't do anything unnecessary.

There are many places that sells <12lb flywheels for the n/a, (SRMotorsports, MazdaTrix, RacingBeat, etc)
In road racing with a non turbo you really don't need the extra strength or weight of the T2 driveline. Take a look at SCCA's ITS road racing class. All FC's are required to use a non turbo driveline. Transmision and rear end failures do happen but almost always due to old age (aka: bearing failure).
If you want strength of the entire driveline it might be worth swapping over to the T2 driveline. But if a clutch is all you are worried about there are plenty of options with less expense and less labor.
