I'll throw this curveball into the discussion...could go either way, I think (assuming this is a 6-spd, here). If the taller wheel lets you stay in 3rd gear longer, maybe you make up any time lost from the taller wheel. You'll still probably have to grab 4th before the 1/4 mi is out, but the less time you spend in that gear (which will be a taller bump than any tire upgrade while in 3rd gear), could be an advantage.
Taking the concept to the extreme, you could make the tire tall enough so that
all you need is 3rd gear to complete the 1/4 mi...which is essentially what is done in the Camaro SS 6-spd (except the axle ratio facilitates this, rather than tire "ratio"). I would not expect these 2 approaches to be entirely equivalent, of course, since a larger tire OD (while holding wheel size) will usually mean a heavier tire, which will mean a larger rotational inertia penalty...but then it is taller, so it is actually rotating less so for a given road speed, so I really have no idea where that ends up, better or not.

The higher redline on the LS3 probably helps out the recipe in a 3-gears for 1/4 mi approach, too...might not translate well to an RT Hemi with its stock redline.
Like your original goal...hooking up better at the launch for the wide tire should count for something.

Only way to know is to try it out and see what you get...
If you're
really curious about things, might even consider "less" tire (lower tire mass, lower inertial losses), but make up for the traction with a camber-correction in your rear suspension...but I digress, since that is evidently a "controversial" approach on this car.
