Does the M/T ET Streets (bias-ply) require inner tubes? If so I guess I'll be getting the Hoosier DOT drag radials...

No, they do not require tubes. However, if you do any amount of street driving, use the tubes. I ran them without for quite awhile, until I hit a pot-hole which blew out the sidewall, rolled the tire over the rim, and ruined my Weld wheel.
I think at your power level a drag radial would be more beneficial than a bias ply anyway.

I was thinking about the M/T 26x11.5-17 for my ZR1's. I just want to hook. The M/T drag radials are not doing it for me, and yes I will be foot-braking...

i remember now... you're the hard on for hotcam character. if you can't hook up on ANY size m/t radial the tire aint the problem... trust me. i've seen a local gto run bottom tens on that 17" mt radial with 550rwhp full weight... 1.5x 60' which aint bad on that IRS crap on the slip n slide launch pads we have here. that badhawk dude is going wheels up on a 17" hoosier radial. ****, a few years back there was a dude on here with a white t/a running 10s full weight and yanking 18" fronts on crappy 18" bfg radials.

Thursday night at the track I pulled off a 1.65 60 ft on Mickey Thompson 255/50r16 drag radials. I even managed to pull up my front driver side wheel a few inches. What psi are you running them at? I was between 20 and 17 psi throughout the night.

I usually start at 20psi and go down to 17 then 15 and see which one gives me the best 60'. 17 was my magic number (on these tires). I also have suspension work so there's more adjustment there.
