Default 30" slicks time?

Hey guys, im looking for advice on this. Looking at getting a new set of wheels so I got the chance to change slicks. I'm currently cutting mostly low 1.6s and a couple high 1.5s with a 11.5x29-15 Hoosier QTP. The tires seem to go up about 15 feet out when full boost hits. My question is will a 30" slick help or only hurt mph. Thoughts?

I chose 29" full slick with stiffwall and saw gains from 29" qtps. I wouldn't be afraid of 30" either since you might shock tire a little harder with transbrake. I used 30" when I had 4.10s and they did good but figured with 3.42s I didn't need as much tire.

Do more suspension work and you'll be faster on 29's
