I currently run Falken FK-452's that are at the wear indicators and want to know if its beneficial to step up to Falken's RT-615K or if I'm wasting money and sacrificing durability. Also if you have any other model tires for increased straight line grip.

Good question. I was spinning even on the 4-5 shift at around 125mph at Willow Springs two weeks ago. I have the Procede with meth, etc and running 19" Nitto Invo's. I don't think R compound tires will do you any good until they are warmed up and that's not really controllable for daily driving. Since you have the Procede, why don't you try adjusting the traction control threshold a bit? That's what I'm going to try next.
