Just to clarify, I don't want drag radials, just wider UHP tires. I used to own a Viper with 355's and that had a lot more traction (granted car was lighter too).

Totally different chassis and made less HP and torque than a stock Blackwing much less a modified Blackwing. A 355 street tire isn't going to give you the traction you're hoping for. I had 335 Michelin Pilot Super Sport street tires on the back of my 1000hp Hellcat and they wouldn't hook up on the street anywhere below 80mph, I could literally do fish tails on the highway. However, a set of 315 Nitto 555R2 drag radials would hook on the car at 40mph.

I would expect that in a truck with no weight over the rear end. You can get away with a bit more power in a heavier car, especially with a longer wheelbase like a 4 door Cadillac. My Hellcat Challenger made just over 1000hp, 892whp and it would hook up on 20" Nitto 555R2 drag radials above 40mph in warm weather when the tires were warmed up but it would blow the tires off the car above 80mph on street tires. I do agree though, you just have to practice and learn what the car can and can't handle and drive accordingly.

I do agree with you. I had a 20 gallon fuel cell located behind the axle, relocated battery as well as a four link to help in the traction department.

Yeah but how do they handle at speed? 150-180

I dont know anyone turning at 150-180mph unless you're on a banked oval.

Do y'all run those drag radials in the rain ?

A kid in my neighborhood had a bad-ass sounding Camaro. I can't remember if he had slicks or drag radials, but he totalled it in the first rain he drove it through.

Hell no!! I got caught is a storm once and I learned why you don’t run drag radials in the rain. It was a scary ride to say the least

You can, you just need to cautious and slow down if the rain is heavy. Not all drag radials are the same. Nitto 555R2 is much better in the rain than a Mickey Thompson ET Street R.
