That makes absolutely no sense but do what you want. Unless you are running out of gear or adding a significant amount of power you don't need bigger than a 26" tire right now.

How is your shifting? Lazy shifting will kill your times

Are you going by the stock tach? It can be off a large amount at WOT. A computer log that shows where you actually shift would be useful. You need to shift at least 6500rpm actual engine RPM I would think...where did it make peak HP on the dyno? Add several hundred RPMs to that. I doubt it peaks before 6200rpm.

Where are you getting that compression ratio? Stock ls1 is 10:1 and the stock ls6 heads would bump that to around 10.5:1, that is a long way from 11.9:1 (not that it matters as far as your track times)

shifting seems to be fine. from what I could tell maybe you need to wind the gears out more.

X2, wonder what gear OP is running. What was the DA on that run? Car should see mid 11s as it sets. OP is running slower than a good bolt-on setup IMHO.

Should figure out the issue before swapping. Typically with an auto you will trap even lower than a M6, but ET better.
