I don't have an answer just a suggestion, you may want to go to the Forced Induction Section and ask there, lots more people talking about this stuff all the time:

. The newer installs have more HP - 600 with the 122 - so the traction requirements get larger, but it is controlled by the pressure exerted by the right foot.

My C5 had a LPE Maggie with stock (275mm) C5 tires and no issues. I just didn't have as much traction as I would have liked . The newer installs have more HP - 600 with the 122 - so the traction requirements get larger, but it is controlled by the pressure exerted by the right foot.

I call it throttle modulation and blower Vettes are the real deal

I can tell you from experience that on street tires the width of has little to do with straight line traction. I had less straight line traction when I went to 305's from 275's due to sidewall and compound. either way you're gonna blow the tread off if you floor it.
