I'm with Coop on this one, get skinnies if possible. Pushing those big heavy wide wheels down the track is going to hold you back. Easy way to pick up at least .2 in the quarter for another few hundred bucks. At this point you have all the mods besides an upgraded turbo and E85. If you REALLY wanna get drag oriented, the next thing I'd do after wheels is adjustable shocks. Going to QA1's on my 4th gens made a massive difference in the 60'.

I'm glad to see you're asking questions before just buying random parts and hoping! Hopefully the group knowledge will help you accomplish your goal! I've seen MANY MANY instances of random parts purchases over the years that do not net results. I've seen hundreds of 12 second heads/cam LS1's. It's not just parts, but combination optimization that drives results! A few of the RIGHT tweaks can make all the difference.
