Default what size rear slick?

97 z28 m6 cammmed boltons. Moser 12 bolt with 410 gears. Spohn lower control arms, body mounted torque arm and panard bar.

Anyhow Im running 15x10 racestar wheels in the rear trying to figure out what the best size slick for my set up will be.

26" slicks. I went with Hoosier QTP 26x11.5x15.

Would the hoosier qtp be as good as a full slick non dot c07 compound?

I switched from et street bias to the Hoosier qtp and they hook better hands down! Probably not quite as good as a slick but the margin of difference has got to be extremely thin. Qtp is a great tire!

Probably not, a full slick will be your best bet if you're changing out at the track. I however wanted to try my luck on the street and also didn't want to have to tube + screw if not needed.
