What type Hoosier

What kind of Hoosier drag tires are the fastest Lightnings running?
Hoosier has two kind of drag tires in the 28 inch tall for a 16 rim.
there all out slick 28/10.0-16 has 10.3 inches of tread face or
or there Quick time pro DOT 28/14.50-16 with 12 inches of tread face. I think the QT pro would offer good performance with 12" of tread face but its not an all out slick. What should I go for.

I have the quick time pros
I have to run them, because my track requires DOT tires on wednesday and friday nights.

I borowed a set of the true 28x10-16 slicks and the real slicks blow the quick time pro's away.

If your track does not require DOT tires stay away from the quick time pro's.

The 28/10-16 slicks sound like the way to go. I was at about 200ft half throtle with the tires spinning and trying to go sideways to say the least I need traction.

You should be able to get in the 12s with those mods I ran a 12.81 with 3# pulley and Chip JL air intake and F-1's. Good luck
