Has to be G-Force.
They're vastly superior to Comp TAs or pretty much any other street tire out there :D :D :D

I had some great 60' for my mods with the BFG drag radial when I could get them to hook. Out of 4 runs I could on get them to hook one or two times, it just depended on the track prep.

I went to the M/T ET Streets, which hook very consistantly but I lost 3-4 mph in the 1/4 and approx. .2 in ET

1.61 on 315-17s and 1.60 on 315-18s. The weather was slightly better when I ran the 18s. If the track is prepped and the tires are rather fresh, either tire will work as well, all else being the same. I do like the 18s a little better as they are stealthy.
