Default Need info on Drag Slicks

I want to use slicks at the drag race but I don't know what brand to buy? Which size to use? I have stock Z06 wheels and tires. Can I mount the drag slicks to stock Z06 wheels? Are there different type of slicks for Drag and Autocross? Who sells these and what is the price?

Thanks

I am planning to supercharge the car soon but before that I want to put on my drag slicks. I was looking for more "Drag Slicks" not BFG drag radials. Drag Slicks like Hoosier slicks or Goodyear slicks, etc..
Why buy twice instead of getting the right one at the first time..

Thanks for the reply though.
