MT ET Street Drag Radial sizes

[Jack's95gt]

I'm currently running 275/50R15 on 9" Draglites. They hooked most of the time. I took the spare and jack out of the back and I spun. I wouldn't think that it wouldn't make that much of a difference. The spare and jack are back in.

It's time to replace the worn Mickey Thompsons. I was looking at the 275/60R15. I have a set of 10" Draglites to put them on. I know I have the power to turn the 28" tires. I see that they have a smaller tread width though. What tire would give me more traction, the 26" or the 28"??

What rpm are you trapping now? Where does the car make peak power and tq? What does the car 60ft? What rpm do you lauch at? What pressure?

I have done a 1.6 60' and been up to 1.8.
I have doing 3500 to 4000 rpm starts with letting the clutch up fast, not dumping. If I get it right the tire hook and I'm off and shift right into 2nd. I have the shift light set at 5200 rpm. I don't look at the tach, but the shift light may come on at or near the 1/4 mile while in 4th. I have been trapping at 119 to 121.
Don't have dyno figures to show where the power band, but it feels like it's still pulling hard when I do the 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th shifts.
