Default 26" or 27" tires

So i just upgraded my rear to a hawks 8.8 with 3.73s, umi arb along with umi lcas. Previous was stock 10 bolt with 3.73 gears 3600 fti stall 243s and btr stage 3 cam, running a 26x8.5x15 this was my best pass on a 150 shot. How bad is going to a 27x10.50x15 gonna hurt my 60 foot? If at all, i was twisting pretty badly and pulling left front tire about 16 inches so I'm hoping the arb is gonna gain me .05 to .1 i could be wrong though. Should i stick with a 26? I'm not into lowering a car and i hate the way a 26 looks lol. Also plan on running alot of back of track events this season so i know the 27 will help there but is it worth it? Thanks

Pull 4 more degree's, re-jet for a 200 shot, add a drag bar and go up to 28x11 QTP's.
Leave off the footbrake at 2500-2800rpm's and hold on tight.
Should be fun
