Running the 28 x 10.5 tire will add about 1.5-2" of diameter, which will drop your top end rpm down about 150-300 rpm. It will also give you a slightly longer footprint for help in launching. It will also makes your time between shifts a little longer.

Stick with the 26" tires. Auto with 3.73s and a 28" tire will be too much for your N/A setup.

Don't foot brake the converter, flash it. Stab the gas off of idle on the second yellow light
