Arrow Will I Hook?!?!?!

Alright well here's my question:

Will i be able to hook on 275/50/15 Mickey's?!?!?!

The reason why im worried is because my suspension is basic with no serious mods....My power level is right around 550rwhp and the only tires that will hold a 150 hit off the line for me is Hoosier 315/35/17 dr's......So im wondering if any of you guys are dead hooking with them and around the same hp level with no serious suspension mods and are running the 275/50/15Mickey's any help/advice would be appr.

MT DR's are a great tire, but I never could get them to hook. I'm at 524/502 and have lowered the pressure to as low as 13lbs and launched up to 5,000 rpm banging off the rev limiter. I just put on Hoosier QTP 27x11.5x15 and am gonna get a UMI torque arm.
