Honestly its tough to say because i know there is people out there running the QTPs cutting 1.3/1.4 60fts and running high 8s low 9s. But for me, I made the switch after last season. I was cutting many 1.4 60fts and going 9.7-9.8 every pass on the Fp Black. It was going to be tough to cut a 1.3 with those tires. Even when i was cutting the 1.4 60fts it would still spin a little bit.

This year i made the switch to the 15" Rota Slipstreams with a brand new set of M/T ET DRAGS. The last few track days the car was spinning very bad. But i believe with this power level and the new power level i am going to be at with the 8 head and new cams. Full slicks is the way to go. A lot of shops drag evos are on full slicks. I think at these power levels its the only way to go for a Evo Will be back at the track soon, hoping for that 8 sec pass!!
