you have two different purpose, you need two different type of tire.
For road racing try the ones recommended by blackbenzz, the toyo R888
For drag you dont need anything as drastic as the M/T Et Street, Hoosiers, etc... for you HP, those tires wont do you any good, you wont be able to use them effectively anyways. The Nittos Nt01, BF T/A, or 555R will be more then enough for you. Also note that "performance/drag" tires will loose their effective life relatively soon, you might still have tread but the ability of the tires to grip might be gone before the tread wears out.
A quality set of performance summer tires will meet your needs just fine, your car is heavy and the HP is not that high for you to require such a drastic tire compound.
