the 27x10s will help a ton at the track won't they???? I just put in nitrous...and I wanna be able to put the power down and finally see what my car can run....will that big of a tire reduce the power comin out?? (larger tire=more hp to turn it right?) -and 85 bones for those Hoosiers...that's a pretty good deal isn't it?)

15x 10's with 275/50 MT DRs

They definately should, especially if you plan on spraying it out of the hole. The taller tire will knock your 4.10 gears down some, which is usually beneficial on nitrous and the taller sidewall should help absorb some of the shock off the line improving traction.

A guy at work let me test his 28x12.5x15 slicks and they fit barely when I removed the quads and cleared the tail pipes by an 1/8th of inch. I do have moroso drag springs out back and my car sits higher than stock.
