How much does an E.T. street grow at the big end?

I am planning on switching my rear tires soon because of my newfound power in a bottle. My best trap speed N/A has been 119mph and I'm planning on spraying a 300 shot this summer once I get things worked out. My car, suspesnsion, transmission etc are set up for the bottle but I have 4.11's with a 26" tall E.T. streets now to optimize N/A performance. I'm wanting to go to a 28.2" tall E.T. street (28x12.5) but I'm not sure if it will grow enough up to to get me to the end without running out of gear. I want the car to go through the traps on the bottle at ~6500 rpm's and should hopefully be trapping in the 130's or a 140mph on the bottle. Do you think the 28x12.5's will grow enough at the end of the track at the high 130's low 140's to make it ~29" tall??
Thanks for the info/help
Matt
