If that is 675 RWHP I think the only thing you could run and not spin is an actual drag slick, not a drag radial. From a standing start if you do not want to spin you will probably need to tub and go very wide. Sounds like a very fast car. I hope you have the drive line beefed up because once you hook up you are going to be putting some serious stress on the vehicle.
