There is no tire the size you are looking for that has the Z speed rating.

You're only going to find a drag specific tire in that width, no road car uses a tire that wide.

Because im going to try to go well over 200mph in the car. Im concerned with the heat those runs build up on a drag tire. Would you wanna run for an entire mile at full throttle on a drag radial or slick?

A lot of Texas Mile cars use R6's of some other DOT-R tire like that, but again, you're only going to find them in normal road car sizes.
