A 26" tire would take you through the traps (using 120mph) at between 6300-6400, which sounds about right for a bolt-on LS1.
A M/T ET Drag 26x10.5x15" tire would probably work very well.

moose got a 1.52 on them that day at mir. i got a 1.51 on the spray on them. they seem to work noce if you have the gear for them. moose runs the 4.30's in his car on them, but with 4.10's, you should cross right at 6100-6200 with no problem.

Moose and Evil I just changed to 27x11.5x15 QTP and I like them also. I ran 1.53 shortime and 11.67 with a stockhead stockbottomend Lt1. I run the tires with no tubes. I now have 22 runs on them with a 1.55 average shortime. Frank95z
