Yeah 1st gear on cold tires when stock can melt the tires, as can 2nd if it's below 70 out, I've even done an elongated chirp on 3rd gear shifts when it's cool outside/tires aren't warmed up. IF it's 85 out and the roads are hot like Forida, then you might be okay in first gear at stock power level. But for sure, at anything past stock, it will easily melt OEM tires. Yes I'm still on Eagle F1s, I plan on selling and getting the new ZL1 or a ZR1 but otherwise I'd switch tires and do the same build as the white ZL1 in your list above.
I think you might be getting a bit over your head for a daily at the white ZL1 to be honest. BTR 3 is an aggressive cam.

That idle is soooo beautiful! I'm a cam noob at best, but aggressive cams typically require supporting valve train upgrades, right? I haven't considered that either. Adding more power to stock tires seems somewhat moot already. That seems drag radial territory and a challenge there. Ultimately, I need to get out and drive one. The closest one on autotrader is a state away...

It seems low on the list now, but I can see it as a thorn later. Your Stage 1 is mainly intake and pullies? I wasn't expecting a gas mileage hit there. Is that because of the need to add more fuel to compensate? Looks like one can assume a Stage 3 like setup is <10mpg for sure then.
