Default Slick size!!! help please....

Hi guys,
Recently I have put a B18C turbo into a civic ef.
The engine has about 360whp and with a jdm 98 spec tranny.
Now i use slicks m/h 24.5/8/15 and i have till second gear spinning at the drag strip,and did ET 11.1 with 1.91 60" .I have also the skunk 2 drag launch. I have a set of m/h 26/8.5/15 and was going to try them.Btw , i cross the line in fifth gear.
What do you think guys? should i try the bigger slicks?
The car +driver weights about 1050kg.
Thanks guys

1.91 is a horrible 60' time for 24.5" slicks, I was pulling 1.73s on 22" slicks. You should be in the 1.6 range. What do you have for suspension work?

24" should be fine... Try lowering the tire pressure some more.

What do you have for tire pressure, and how do you do your burnout (be descriptive). If you have a vid that will help!

Are you pulling out of the waterbox when you do your burnout or remaining in it? Sounds like you've got the pressures about right. How long do you burn out for?

Is the track not prepped? For some reason it doesn't seem to be hooking off the line since you say you're spinning heavily. Are you sure you're not roasting the clutch maybe?
