Gentle suggestion to consider a more forgiving track tire.

Racing Slicks do offer the highest grip level within a very narrow performance window and heat cycle out after 1-2 days. That means a fresh set of $1500 tires every weekend. One big spin and they go straight to the dumpster. They will also likely overpower your M030 suspension and you will need about -3 degrees of negative camber F/R. If you are pursuing a National Championship this might makes sense. For local DE/AX not so much.

Other choices with excellent grip and heat characteristics but last much longer:
RA-1s- Good for about 50 HC or 10 days.
NT-01s- Good for about 50hc or 10 days.
MPSC- Good for about 20hc or 4 days
