Default 98 TA vs. 01? Lightning from a dig (VIDEOS)

My mods are in my sig, I was on street tires + a 180lb Camera man. He has intake and exhaust on drag radials. We also went from a 55 roll for ***** and I took it up to 120mph before letting off but my camera man decided to lay his finger on the zoom button and the video only came out to about around 100mph???

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=994rYQGG2pk 0-100mph
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z67XSZ1_ins 0 -105mph
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nRr1Y2PUuI 55-100mph??

very nice there is one up here that i believe is a 98 or 99 he has dynoed at 534 HP.... this thing is very NOT stock lol i ran him saturday with my stock 01 formula with 87 octane we went from a dig and cut out at 80 mph he only had me bought 1-2 cars and at 80 i began catching up so if we would have went the full 1/4 i think it would have been a nicer race... specially if i didnt have the 87 octane to cause my car to pull timing

Damn camera man. I bet he wanted to get a good grip on the camera since it was out the window at 120 mph
