Never touched em before, I would look into a racing shop for it.

How much power are we talking about? That would depend on what tires you should get. Hit me up and I might be able to help.

What I would do is buy a cheap pair of drag wheels in a smaller diameter to run slicks on. Toss those on the front when you drag and then just put the RSX wheels back on when you're done. I think slicks should be beefier than what you can fit onto a 16 inch wheel, if you want to air them down and everything for max grip on launch. I'm no drag racer but this is my very basic understanding.

Not much help as far as drag racing goes... but for autocross & open track Hoosier makes some really good racing tires. And as always, the rule is run the smallest diameter wheel you can that is as wide as you can fit with as wide of a tire as you can fit.
