Tyler, for a street/strip car I'd say that your tire height is going to be driven more by appearance than anything else, and then you may have a set wheels & tires for competition. To get into the quick times you're targeting I expect that you're going to end up with some very tall rear gears, so you might want to consider a Gear Vendors OD unit to give you some street manners. Your cruise rpm is affected by your tire diameter, rear gear ratio, and final tranny drive (OD) ratio. Once you have your basics set you can make a couple of test runs to see where you are going through the traps, and maybe use your competition tire diameter as the final variable to dial in your gear/rpm to optimum.
