The best back drag wheel/tire to run with stock brakes ZL1 1LE

Anyone have any examples of some drag setups for a simple two back wheel setup that I could swap to, to drag race the car...

I'm a drag racer by trade and my car already has Hankook 325/30/19's on the back which are great for lasting beyond the 250 miles the Goodyears will get you...

However they seem almost like barely usable in the first two gears to get this car off the line.... I have an M6 so it's gonna be a bear to get the car down the track.... I had a powerful six speed in the 90s with nitrous but it too was an animal to control once the n2o came on.... MY ZL1 makes like the same amount of torque as THAT car on spray..... LOL...

So I'm all ears. I'd rather not convert my rear brakes and run a 15" combo if I don't need to...

JB

OP with 17" rims on a ZL1 do not hot lap or the caliper will start scratching the inside of the rims. It is a very tight fit. Those rims require special lugs which also need a little light lube on the barrel (not the threads) to install. Next deal with the GM bog.

I thought I took some with a light shining in and behind the wheel to show the clearance more clearly, but this is all I can find on my phone. I may have filmed it on my gopro, but I don't have that with me at the moment.
