Haulers will be way better tire for drag racing and there will be a HUGE difference in performance over your Geckos. If you ask me the Hauler is way better then the Geckos just about any were out in the sand.

Probably will not make that big of a difference, but they are lighter and will hook so much harder. About the only thing the gecko's are better at is cutting donuts.

I'd also look into the Sandstars, I have a set and I love them good all around tire.

The difference is night and day! If you want to drag, I would run not walk to a place for a set. I would get just regular haulers not extremes. Size and paddle choice seem to be a personal thing. I run 8 paddles but for a mildly modded machine I'choose 7 paddle.
Most pic up a bike or 2 by just switching between 20"s and 22"s haulers. I good 21x12x8 7 paddle and you will be in bussiness. If possible I would also try a 6 paddle. After 1 ride you will consider it money well spent........
