need advice on et slick size

I was thinking 26x10.5x15 on a set of steel s-10 wheels? I have run 12.7@111 (245DRs) and just can't get of the line My best 60ft is 1.9 Lauching at 2500 and back pedling in 1st and spinning bad into 2nd. I want to try the et streets and dump my dual friction clutch at 4 grand. Wada ya think i could gain et and mph? I also wind 4th gear out so a 26inch et street should gear my car up a little helping me threw the traps right in the power range.

That's the size I used for 2 years when I was using a 3.27 geared 9 bolt. My car setup actually needed 3.90 gears with the 26" tall tires.
