But you also have to consider how important the off the spray ETs are as well, if you want to give up some on the nitrous you can move up to a 3.90 or 4.10 for better NA ETs but you may run out of RPM on the spray.
As far as the tire side there are very few constants in drag racing, but one is wider tired will hook better. May take a few more more HP to pust it down the track but its a good tradeoff for more consistent hooking.

The 325 will obviously be the better tire, but you can run some good times with a 275. I've seen an LTx car run well into the 5s and cut a 1.3x on a 275. It's all in the suspension setup.

If you can work with the 275 60 15 you'll only have to go low 8's to be competitive =)
325 50 15, you'll have to step up to mid 7's =/
Go with the 325's

Is it just me, or do the 325's seem to fit better on the Firebirds? I mean they don't seem to stick out past the quarters as much as they do on a Camaro. Anybody with a Camaro having trouble with 325's rubbing the quarters at launch?
BTW, I voted for 275's for this reason.
