A taller tire is always going to hook better. With a 3.73, you'll be fine on the gear ratio as well. If the car is spinning sometimes, go with the 28". If it hooks every time, leave it alone! Your 60's are excellent for your setup, if it does that consistently, I wouldn't touch it.

I don't know if I would call a 1.53 excellent for a 10.80 pass.
We were running low 1.5's on 11.50 passes.
The 60 foot should actually be about .1 faster for that et.
With that mph I would think you could squeeze a 10.50/10.60's out of it.
Any reason you're still running the stock 10 bolt? That thing has to be on the limit every time you race it.

if you're running on motor - a 28" tall tire and a 3.73 isn't going to be anywhere near optimal.
if you can dead hook consistantly on a 26" tire, i wouldn't change it. if you feel you need a taller tire to hook the car, then you'll need to change the gear ratio as well.
