So I'm wondering what slick you guys are having the best luck with? 69 GTX probably 4000lbs, auto. 590 hp. Has cal tracs. Will be running at a track with medium to good track prep. Looking for something in the 10.5/28/15
 
This was 9X30's on a 7" rim. Over 4000lbs, SS springs, and about 600 hp.

Gear ratio?
 
I like the venerable 28 ten-fifties by M/T . Have run them for years. The only question is running out of RPM with your ratio.

I ran radials on my 68 GTX. 11.20 @ 121. Drove to the track with them. Never had an issue hooking...
 
I'm currently running 10.5x28 mickeys that need replacing, with 10x28 hoosiers ready to go.
If I were you.... I'd try the Mickey Pro Bracket Radials (slicks, not drag radials)
10.5x28, or 10.5x29.5, depending on room and gear. X5 compound.
 
My street car weighs 3885 with me. Runs 11.0's. 4.30 gear with homemade leaf springs using the leaf pac on the stock main leaf from a Hemi GTX. 10.5x28 M/T. Never spins. Now has 9 way adjustables on rear making it quicker in 60ft, 1.53.

It’s a street car and with good to medium prep, you could put it on a radial and drive to the track. I ran a 1.30 60’ 5.50 1/8 mile at 4000# on the ET Street SS MT-3453 tire. After running radials at 160mph, I’ll never go back to a floppy tire.
