Going from DR's to slick will definately lower your mph.
I personally dont think u need slicks at your power level, dr's will work and make the car ET better and mph higher.
FYI, as your 60' gets better your ET mph will go down a little.

Stay away from the 28 inch slick (especially on a 2.73 gear)
and run at a Max. 275/50/15 or 275/40/17 drag radial and you will see a huge improvement.
