If you're gonna run a 15 up front do it in the rear too so you'll benefit from the sidewall.
You're talking about maybe a tenth in ET and 1 mph at best with those 15x4s over a 17 and a street tire up front. I'm speaking from experience here, been there done that, and a skinny/radial combo up front didn't show much if any gain at the track. Weather will account for that little of difference.
skinnies help a lot... i don't know what you're talking about.
unsprung reciprocating weight = less e.t.
i gained .2 in similar weather conditions and identical 60' times. and that was with a pro-star and a radial tire, not some super light bogarts w/ bias ply skinnies.

For an all out track car, maybe .2 is worth it, for me I'd rather save my time/effort/money and keep the 17s up front.
