Default Which Tires...HELP!!

Well last night (at the track) we were playing with a SC'd SS Camaro, but off the line we could'nt hook for $hit, granted we are still pretty new to the car but even just rolling out and flooring it we would spin through the first 2 gears.

So, we want to go with some new tires, a frined of our is telling us to go with Nitto 555's, he runs them on his Mustang and likes them for street tires (his Mustang has run 11.8) Im just curious if anyone has any recommendations. Are the G-Force TA KDW-2's any good? Were gonna get some BFG drag radials put on some spare rims, but for daily use we need/want a good sticky tire. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
