I just purchased race stars 15x3.75 15x10
Was about to pull the trigger on the new mt street pro radials the sales tech said to go bias
But that being said I would be getting more sidewall and a bigger tire 26 to 28
Any suggesting's greatly appreciated on front and back

Don't waste your money on radials. I tried and have spent this summer playing with everything just to get a 1.99 60ft. My power level is similar to yours, maybe a bit higher in the rpm scale and less torque down low because no nitrous, but I still can't hook. Jl-ws6 hit the nail on the head. M6 cars need a bias ply....period.
I thought with the adjustability of my suspension I'd have a chance, but no go. Next spring the car is getting 28x10 slicks so I can quit beating my head against the wall. I've done alot of video of my runs, once the radials even just start to spin, the shows over. I thought going to 28" tires would give me enough sidewall to hook...nope.
Get some bias plys, and then just perfect your launch rpm and start running the times you want. Radials will just frustrate the hell out of you.
Just my 2 cents

I just posted a thread about m6 radials in this section and now I don't feel so bad lol. I was pissed about high 1.6s low 1.7s on radials with a 6 speed. My car on 5 year old 275/40/17s et street radials went mid 1.8s with a bad clutch which probably helped no BS. That was with no front sway bar, control arm relocation brackets, tunnel mounted torque arm, and sportline springs/agx shocks(which are horrible for drag racing). I'm running more of a drag setup now.
I'm going to take a trip to the track on saturday see if I can get it into the 1.5s or better on a 275/60-15 after I make a couple changes.
But if you want a tire, just put on a slick. I'm stubborn that's why I have radials on my car, with no nitrous controller on an m6 radials are a fighting battle. 28/10.5 might be a little big if the 416hp is what your car makes on the bottle. My car makes about that on motor and my car hates the 28" tire. I also have 4.11 gears.

Unless someone is willing to put a Mcleod Soft-lock clutch and spend the multi thousands of dollars to get it to "work" just get a bias ply. That clutch is too hardcore for the street, for the average guy and most of those same guys are not that dedicated enough to try to get a DR to work.
Technology is still coming forward so I am sure stuff will change, but in the here and now, get the bias play and the willingness to left the car fly off the limiter on the launch.

Bias ply's and don't look back ... 27x11.5 QTP's here for now.

Don't go radials in the front (s/r's) with bias ply rears .... only go bias ply fronts and radial rears or bias ply's all the way around or radials all the way around. NEVER go radial fronts with bias ply rears.

This at Gimli? Are they putting the cone out to put you out of the groove?
Like ive said before if you want you can try out my et streets for a run or 2 to see how they work for you. I'll be out on the 25th for TnT, and possibly the 26th for the heads up series.
Let me know.
