If your not spinning, and crossing the traps at 6000 rpms I definitely dont think a 28inch tire is going to do anything to help you. What was his reason for wanting you to swap to a 28?

He's wrong. It's that simple. The only way to improve on that combo given your power band would be a slightly shorter tire (which wouldn't make much sense given the stiffer sidewall and therefore loss of traction) or a slightly steeper gear like a 4.20. Regardless, you couldn't improve your time enough to justify the trouble. You would likely gain more by draining your coolant reservoir and windshield washer tank before you run her. Really. Have you ported your stock throttle body yet? That would probably do just as much.
