Phil and I were just talking about that yesterday. There's alot of mods I'd like to do, but none would net me anywhere near the gains that a lighter weight set of wheels and slicks would do. It's tough to do slicks when you drive your car to the track, but I can throw them in the back and swap them and run. Or, I can step up and get a tow vehicle, already have a trailer I can use It's cool to be able to say I hit 11's on a 14b with street tires but from here on out who cares.
It would most likely be a good investment. But, I understand how it's tough to decide to cross the line from street car. But, lots of Mustang, Camaro, Vette, etc. guys throw slicks on at the strip. Nothing wrong with it. Do it up! My vote is for bringing slicks and keeping your car registered. Once you've experienced slicks, go from there...
