a 7.5 rear with 3.08 gears is going to produce the same rwhp numbers in that car as if he swapped in an 8.8 with 3.73's, or whatever gear. Gears don't change HP, they only change how the car revs (sort of). did he mean he didn't want to get on it for fear of blowing the rear? cause i've done 3500 rpm clutch drops at the track (only way i could get the 12.6) with my old 7.5 and not had a problem. I am swapping in an 8.8 eventually, only because the car will have over 400 RWHP when it's done. but right now the 7.5 can take it. Oh, and by the way, you should have smoked him.
