drag slick or DOT race tire?

Hi guys, what do you think what´s the better racing tire for my Valiant? I don´t know much about race tires, i´d like to buy a set for this season because i want to know what the car is able to. Engine is a selfmade 408, i expect around 450 horses, 450 ft/lbs. torque, maybe a little more. 3.73 gears, rear equipped with SS springs.

i can get hoosier drag slicks 26/8/15 or hoosier quick time pro 26/9,5/15, same allround dimensions, already have a set of 8x15" steelies.

I read somewhere the QTP´s don´t require as much burnout as the drag slicks - and last longer because of this. So what do you think, are these QTP´s the better tire for my purpose? I don´t plan to use these tires on the street, so don´t really need the DOT-approval.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Michael
