Default What Drag tire to get?

You can see in sig what I have. I`m running 26x11.5x15 Et`s and I spin bad only getting 1.6`s 60ft. When My car was lightly modded this tire was sweet . Now it`s differant. I`m thing QTP 27`inch drag tire or maybe a 28inch M/T. What do you think? I have 3.73 and I spray! Thanks fellas!!

Also have you tried different tire pressures, adjusted driveshaft angle, basically tuned your suspension?
Weight transfer should be more your concern IMO, those tires should hook if weight is transfered properly. You are still nose heavy.
Another option is taller 27' ET's or Hoosiers.

27's should still fit. Some 28's might require you cut your ground effects.

I cut 1.50 on 26x12.5 ET Streets.

I think QTPros have a 27` drag. I`m looking at that, also some QA adjustables. Madman adjusted my TRQ-arm so I`m hoping I`m right! Keep trying!!!
