Default Cammed T/A vs My Formula

Still new with the board and first time trying to post vids. So if there not right sorry. They're also posted on my buddies YouTube channel.
The girl in the black t/a had posted on fb that her trans am was hungry. I knew the car had been 8.20's on street tires and 7.70 on drag radials in the 1/8th. Some friends had told me my car was quick for stock. So I told her I knew I would lose but I would run her.
The mods on the t/a are cam,headers,ory,magna flow bullit with catback,4.10's and tuned. It made 420 to the tires. My formula has Slp lid and bullit dumped before rear axle. Both on car when I bought it. People seem to think it has tune considering the cars I have raced and beat.

isnt a 8.2 in the 1/8th only about a 12.8 in the 1/4.
good drivers are getting that on stock C5 z06s so if the car has 4.10s and 420 rwhp it should be faster than that.

ZFREIE===its all about traction...If you cannot hook it up you are not going to run good ets spinning your *** off. Drag Radials vs true street tires is a huge difference.

8.20s is faster than a 12.8 too. ==more like 12.40s-50s.

Djfury thanks. Since your able to post the vids. If you see the one with our names they have the sound. The one that has john and Amanda 1 is her just launching with trying to tell her on 3rd horn.

That's what I'm saying. These are the bad vids with no sound when my friend was uploading,that's why they are not titled. He has a YouTube channel and the ones I tried to post have the sound. The huge hits I never kicked. I was trying to tell her 3rd horn and she would kick. She done that to me twice,she said she thought I was saying go.

Oh well I want do this again
