What is the best 9 inch tire?
My Plymouth is similar weight and HP to your Chevelle , goes 10.30s footbrake has gone 10.20s. Best 9"radial I have run is the Goodyear , 92.5 rollout . My Prefered tyre is the MT PBR in 29.5x10.5 .
I have run Hoosier 9x30 and 30x10.5 radials . The Goodyear and Hoosier are quicker than the PBR , weigh about 10lbs lighter . PBR gives me the most life 160-180 passes bracket racing not on radial prepped tracks .PBR is also most forgiving .
And if maybe going Stock make sure you can get a 30"tyre in there .
