Default which slicks to get??

i've been using a 26x11.5-16 et street and they are worn out, time for new shoes, but im debating on going to either a 26x10.5, or back to 26x11.5, or going to a 28x11.5 or 28x10.5. i cross the line around 6500rpm, would the 28 change that alot? i have 4.10's so my 1-2 shift is pretty quick, i'd like to make it a lil bit longer if i could but i dont want to give up top end mph. i was looking at weights, and the 28 and 26 x11.5 are same weight according to MT, and the 26x10.5 is 2lbs lighter. would the 10.5 hook good enough for me? roughly 430rwhp. any input would be awesome! thanks
