Nitrous and 4l60e users inside....
Since I have 3.42's in the Z06 and I currently run a 26in et street out back, or should I run a 28in hoosier
Does the tranny act like a stick and shift into a higher gear with the extra power...I.E. shifting into a higher gear right before the big end of the track???

With my A4 car and 3.73 gears, my engine speed increases from ~5500 rpm NA to ~6000 rpm on a 75 shot while crossing the traps though I'm still in 3rd gear as my shift points are set at 6400.
Same here only I ran 3.42's with a 100 shot, I shifted at 6,500 rpm.
