Default Help determining tire size?

I've searched around a bit and the results seem pretty inconclusive, at least based on my reading, on what tire I should choose. I'm going to be running a Cam only Z28 A4 (built 4l60e), 3400 stall, + a 100 shot. Gear ratio is 3.23 and the car will have about 200 lbs of weight reduction. I'm not going to launch it extremely hard due to the stock 10 bolt in there... so I guess I'm wondering what size tire?

I'll be running some big and little drag wheels and the car is a cruiser/racer only, not a DD. I do want drag radials though. I'd like to run a 26" tire since it's lowered on stranos and I don't really want to raise it up. Thoughts or suggestions?
