Default Cam only trap speeds

What kind of trap speeds are you guys running with your cam only cars?

I'm trying to figure out why my car was trapping so low the other night at beech bend(other than 100percent humidity)

My TA has a 228/230 .579 .581 114 in it and completely fresh, less than 250miles motor in it and was only trapping 110mph. Its a m6 w/ 4.10 gear.

The same cam in an identical motor in my camaro was trapping 114-115 w/ an auto and 3600 Vig.

Is it my tune thats off too much?
BTW fastest I ran was 12.83@110, 2.03 60ft. LOL

M6 cam only, I trapped 117-118 full weight in a Camaro. Now that I lightened the car up, added a better clutch I am hoping for a 120 this Friday.
