The problem with radials is that there is a fine line between "sticky" and "greasy".................. You will have to find what your tires like. Some tire compounds only need to be cleaned off and a little heat (with the proper suspension of course) and some radials love to be boiled for 5+ seconds and yield great results............
A bunch of things come in to play besides compound. Track prep, tread depth, tire temp and tire pressure. Radials are far more finicky than a straight up bias ply slick. Even having said that; I'll take a radial any day of the week for stability on the big end of the track.
