Default times and mph not right

Well guys the other day i went to the track and it ended up beinga crappy night for racing! they didnt prep the track whatsoever. Nothin! no water or anything. So needless to say i couldnt hook up to save my life. The best i could muster was a 13.72 @ 104mph. Now is it just me or does my mph seem low? my car was puttin 336whp at the time and i puta 2.098 60'. when i shifted the car would basically get sideways in the middle of the track and when i hit third it was spinnin so bad it bogged a lil. i only got three tries cuz some stupid 9 sec car busted his oil pan somehow and got oil everywhere, so they closed the track. i'm sure i could've done better with a few more runs but i was dissapointed to say the least. Also it wasnt my shifting bein slow cuz i speed shifted it

Doesn't matter a blown GT will easily trap low 11x. When you spin too much you're traps are usually lower because you aren't accelerating as fast as possible. Like 3300 pounds if you have to know

well, my car weighs around 3700lbs, and isnt blown, but if i had a short time around 2.1, i would probably run in the mid 13s, with a trap in that range...i think...

i was having some issues last season, and i was running in the 13.0s trapping 104ish

ok because everyone has been sayin that if you have traction issues then your mph will read too high and it didnt make sense cuz it seemed like my mph wasnt too far off what i was running

It's funny really. Looks to me like you were spinning most of 1-3rd and finally got traction, when you did, the car bogged really badly as you were not going the speed you should have been going. What gear do you have?

Spinning didn't help your trap speed but even so, there's got to be another issue too. With 336whp, I'd guess you should be trapping around 109-111. Just a couple of questions:

- How did you do on your other 2 runs.
- Have you trapped higher then 104 before?
-What kind of dyno did you hit 336whp on? Dynodynamics, dynojet, mustang dyno?
