Default 30'' or 26'' tires for track

After I get my truck dynotuned I am heading to the 1/8 mile track once I get back home. Should I run on stock 30'' wheels and tires or some 26'' drag radials on stock rims? Prior to the longtubes, cam,and gears my best NA time was 10.08 and 9.2 on nitrous. Hopefully this time I will hit 8's one way or another, if traction permits.

even though the 26'' tires are drag radials I still cant hook so my main question is which height will get me better times.

I would vote for the DRs if you are only going to run 1/8 mile...
