Default What slicks to get?? b18b turbo with a gsr tranny?

Hey all. Im gonna buy a set of slicks and run my car at the track before i sell it. I have a set of light weight 13x7 rims. Here is the setup
95 dx coupe
stock b18b
gsr tranny
t3/t4 running 10-11lbs

I was told to get 22x8 slicks. i can get em at http://www.mapautoparts.com for $250
should i get a taller slick like a 23x8 cause i think ill run out of 4th. on stock del 14's, i think it redlines 4th at a little over 100mph. would a taller slick help keep in 4th long enough to get through the traps?
Thanks
Burke

If you anticipate anything above 350whp, either now or in the future, I would go with the 24.5x8x13. My friend used 22x8x13 on an all motor car generating 200-210whp and spun majority of first.

If you figure on that power level for a while, the 22's should be adequate for now. When you do make more power, it might be time for some new slicks anyway.
