Default How much will a slick grow at 130mph?

Im trying to figure out if i got enough gear to make it through the 1/4. I trap about 105 to 106 in the 1/8. Im running a 26x8.5 hoosier slicks and theyre 26.1"tall. I ran it through a mph calulator and at 6900rpm its 130mph. 6900rpm is where my nitrous cuts off and im thinkin ill trap 130+? According to the sticky slicks grow 1 to 1.5 inches at 150 mph. So if they grow a half a inch at130mph that would get me 26.6 and about 133mph and would prob work i believe. I may just have to step up to alittle taller tire but it would be nice if this worked. Thanks for any help.

Depends on how wide of rim you are running, the wider the less growth
