I'm planning for new tires next year, with max traction in mind. Still on the fence between those 275 Pro's with new control arms, or Hoosier 28x14.5x16 on my CCW's with fender flares. What's your thoughts on it?

If you already have the spindles, the choice is obvious... 275 pros on 15s.. The tires are leaps and bounds better then anything else on the market.
If I was going to race my car more then a couple times a year, I'd make the jump to 15s as well..
There is cars all over the place down here going 1.2x 60s on the 275 pros..

That's encouraging about the 275's. I haven't seen them and trying to compare them with the big Hoosier 28x14.5x16. The tread width of the 275 is listed as 9.8", vs a full 12" for the Hoosiers. That's over 4" more rubber on the ground for the Hoosier set. Still speculation for what I think works... I'll need spindles or fender flares either way.
(can't drive through a spinning radial like a slick)

I carry both, radials & slicks in my trailer, pending on track prep which ones will be the spares
Radials are mounted on bead lock rims & slicks are mounted on cheap Weld Pro Star rims with tubes & rim screws
In the long run, 15" rims & tires are cheaper than 16"

thats a GREAT 60 ft considering you are walking it out
why such a low RPM for the launch? a bit more stall on the conv (like 4k) leaving harder at 3k RPMs or more with the right tires will get you there!!
much of this is shock tuning and weight transfer
have you unhooked the front sway bar?
just unbolt the links and zip tie it out of the way, or remove it for weight savings
every little bit helps
