Default Street night this week!

Heading to the track this coming week. I've gone once this season already. My best time was 13.9. (Not very good I know) but my trap was 107 which was alright. my 60 foot was around 2.3 at the beginning of the night and as the night went on it was 2.5. Was fairly cold and damp so that wasn't helping whatsoever. I had been chirping 4th which I would say signifies the conditions. Anyways I'm running cooper zeon sport a/s tires and they're a 275/40zr18
I'm running c5 wheels. I would like to improve my 60ft without breaking the wallet as I plan on selling the car when I move to Washington from New Hampshire.
My coopers are worn in the middles but he outsides are around 60%. If I buy a new set of SUMMER tires what would my best bet be? I don't want to spend anything over 400. I know the nt555s are on sale for 210 a piece at their 285 and their 275 are up for 177. I could get my hands on a set of eagle f1s at half life and 275s for under 200 dollars so I'm just sort of wonderig a direction. Help me out guys! Enjoying the car otherwise and here is my mod list

ls1 6speed

-short throw shifter

-Borla stainless exhaust

-2in eibach springs

-Koni adjustable shocks and struts

-BMR adjustable torque arm
