What size tires?
I have a 98 stang with 383rwhp and 467rwtq after this winter with some more mods it should be over 400rwhp and over 500rwtq. So what size tire do you think I should get for the rear for drag racing? I have a guy in the area selling Mickey Thompson et street slicks. 26x11.5-15lt. Would that be good or should I go bigger?

Im from Harrisburg area. My mod list stock pi head swap 10.2-1 cc stage 2 cams and vavle springs, trick flow upper intake, intake spacer bbk 75mm tb, k+n Intake, 90mm mass, 42lb injecters, upgreaded fuel rails and regulater, 255lp fuel pump, steeda ud pulleys, solid motor mounts, 100 shot of nitrous, rear end 373 rear gears 31 spline axles detriot locker upr upper and lower contorl arms solid mounts, al drive shaft, sct chip spec stage 2 clutch and flywheel bbk long tube headers o/r h pipe mac mufflers. Thats all I can think of oft the top of my head. oh and I have a ederbrock lower in take on it right now but that is coming off and Im going back to stock because I lost 13 rwhp and 32rwtq because of it. Dave guy does all my tuning for me and he said with the in take alone he will have me over 400 hp and over 500rwtq.
Things Im doing this winter, rpm switch for the nitrous, the intake, I was thinking maybe lakewood 90/10 front struts and 50/50 for the rears. I have the eibach drag springs in my closet now. I was also thinking of maybe going to a 4.10 gear ratio but I might hold off on that till sumer to see what it runs and go from there. I was also think about going to a 125 shot too.
I ran the car N/A before the nitrous and the ederbrock lower intake and I was running 8.2's @ 85mph all day in the 8th mile with 28-13.5-15 mt et streets some times when the car hooked it would bog the motor a little. Dont think Ill have that issue with spray.
my max torque was 467 at ~3600rpms
what kind of quarter mile times do you guys think I can hit with it with a good set of tires?
