275/50/15 or 275/60/15 drag radials?
I'm running a set of 275/50/15 BFG drag radials on a set of Weld ProStars. I'm looking to updrage to a new set of MT drag radials, just not sure what size is better for the track 50's or 60's? I want the best 60' times as possible. Looking for any recommendations.
350 - 450hp at crank
700r4
9-bolt rear with 3.73's.
also any recommendations for front suspension....really looking for a good launch.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

I'm no expert but the difference between the 2 has more to do with your RPM vs trap speed than launch due to the significant diameter variation.The section/tread width are pretty similar between them. Markedly wider would help but compound has more influence on 60 ft, given the similar footprint.
