530 seems like a lot of power for a car this light. Have any of you with that motor gone to a drag strip? What kind and size tires do you have to keep traction?

you use the gas pedal to control the power 
Mike Hodges has a KC 408 in his B&B with 8,000 miles on it. NEVER spun a tire. I like to spin a tire every time I drive mine but Mike drives like he has brain.
I run MT 26x12x15. Good in the rain and dry
I've used BFG G Force tires, good traction in the rain and dry until you spin them to many times and they get hard. I'm sure this is true for all tires. Except BFG TA Radials; they are hard from the factory!
Mike has G Force.
Tires are very important if you have over 300 hp to the rear wheels.
My list of important things on a Cobra
First; brakes
Second; tires
Third; hp / tq
If you cannot stop it, 200 hp will kill you
If the tires don't hold to the road in wet and dry conditions, it will kill you
