well from your sig and what your saying its hard to say... but i would say go with a 22" dia tire....
now u want a drag tire thats dot? or a regular street tire like es100,azenis????
you need to be more clear with your ?'s
most NA set ups run 22-23"

I believe you will want a wider footprint for drag racing. It should give you more contact patch for better acceleration.
