Yea, thats a really big tire. If you only intention is drag racing, and your gonna stay N/A for a while, 295 is overkill. You could fix your camber a little more, and bring it closer to 0, not at 0 but closer to 0. With that, even a 245/45 DR will do just fine. We arent talking about mass amounts of power. Your just adding weight and at 295/35 I believe your adding a little diameter as well which will slow gearing.

295 is not overkill. The BFG DRs are more of a street radial. They are not as sticky as a Mickey Thompson tire, which would be overkill with an 11" tread width. The MTs have a huge sidewall to provide squat and stick, so you need less rubber. The BFG DRs don't have nearly the same sidewall.

BriGuyMax runs that size on his 18x9.5" 5Zigen FN01RCs. Used to have them on his 10.5" Volk SF-Winnings. I think that tire is probably overkill for your power level, but they definitely look cool having huge steamrollers out back.
