Well as you all know I have a 98 Cobra at HCI motorsports and it's being fully built shortblock,heads,exhust,clutch,and much more. Anyways I plan on taking it out to the track once i break in the motor. I have never ran slicks before and dont really know what size to buy or rims to use please let me know what brand,size rims/tires to use. Keep in mind I will be addind 10lbs. of boost later this year. Thank you in advance.

15x8

15x8 rims and yes your current wheels are at least that wide. the 10 refers to how widethe tire is. Slicks sell by inches not by the usual 245/40 whatever so you should be fine with 26x10's on a 15x8" Weld Pro star [patriot]

I run a set og 15x8 draglights with a 5.5 BS. I got them off an SN95, they fit nicely.

I dont know your setup that well, but I'd guestimate that a 26 inch tall tire would be alright. Do your homework on slick choice. Every manufacturer sizes their tires differently. For example ET streets usually have wider section widths than QTP's, but very similar tread widths.
