150 is kinda soft unless you have a bit of weight removed from the front. 200 should be more of a stock stiffer feel. I'd go with the 150s for the strip. and if they bottom out on the street switch them for the 200s if they don't bottom out I'd leave them.

you might not shave that much off your ET, but you really want to look at your 60'. that will tell you how well your launching. once you get your suspention, and gearing locked in, you'll be able to make the most out of any HP mods.
