If you are going from stock to yank 4200 and drag radiail to drag package it will be pretty close.

that is a taller order.
No pun intended.
Presuming no change in power to the car I would expect you pick up 1 or 2 tenths from converter very little 60 from the tires and you will probably lose because they are taller.

From stock to 3600or 4400 4 tenths I'd say no brainer but from 3000 no. That is to say a 4400 is worth .8. I may be wrong but am quickly appraching 1000 passes and 5 years of track time.
On the tires, if you are spinning you should theoritcally be better off with the slicks. However, a taller tire reduces your gear and thus your ET so what you pick up in hooking you may give back because of the tire.
I swap from drag radials to ET Streets about the same height and my et different is .01 to .02 in my 400 rwhp A4 with 4.10 and 4400 stall
I don't use nitrous so I may be a little off as I would not know how it behaves. I know I have seen some adds for nitrous converters so maybe it is a different animal
