Traction??

Ok, I realize that this is a tire question, but seems the "tire threads" are focused mainly on rims, looks, etc...

With running FBO (and 50% e85, 50% 93 octane) it seems now my biggest issues are traction.

What rear tires should I buy. (non rft)

Some limited slip differentials like Waveteac are comparable price-wise to a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. I would get that instead.

I got a Wavetrack installed for $1,900 (bolted diff) and a set of 235/35/19 275/30/19 Michelin PSS for about $1,100 installed.

I would personally go with the LSD first...but most do tires. If you do tires, definitely go with the Michelin PSS if you like your car to handle well and provide excellent off-the-line traction at the drags. DRs may be better for the strip but suck at the track. I tried DRs at the track once. Never again.
