MT 275/60/15 and a 125 shot...will it stick? Do you guys think that my car (mods are in my sig) will hook up using MT 275/60/15 ET Street Radials with a 125 shot? Or do you think I should just get a 26x9" ET Drag?

Yea you'll stick, you are probably gonna have to mess around with the tire pressure to see what works best for you. But it will hook, your gonna bog down on the launch as soon as the tires hook.

My advice is to go with a set of e.t. streets or drags. Mickey Thompson does not recommend those tires for a stick car. Judging by your suspension mods, the car would be better off with e.t. streets. My car ran a 7.33@100 on the 100 shot with a 1.79 60' and on e.t. streets and a 150 shot it ran 6.98@101.42 and a 10.89@126 with a 1.60' and cut a best of a 1.58 60'. I left at 5500 on the kit and it hook pretty good. I have got the same suspension as you so we are close to the same ball park. O and if you don't have a torque arm I would suggest getting the UMI tunnel brace mounted TA. It might a big difference on my car.
BTW I wouldn't even bother running your car on motor. On drag radials with 3.89 gears leaving at 5500 my car was bogging. So instead of leaving harder, I just sprayed it.
Needless to say the car didn't bog. I am not saying yours is going to be the same but there is a good chance that it will. Notice on here that all the 6-speed guys that run all motor have 4:30's or 4:56's and that is the reason why. ***** an LS1!

Im gonna have to agree with him!!!6 speed cars are a little diff than auto cars, as far as tire setup is concerned.
