Default Does a high trap speed suggest a lower time?

Quick question - I ran a 12.130 @ 122.22MPH a few nights ago. This was my best run and I had a lot of wheel spin off the line. Most of the other cars that hit close to 122 in the quarter all ran mid 11's. With this trap speed, would I be able to dig 11's with a better launch?

thanks

Was that on street tires? With slicks you should be in the mid 11s for a manual and low 11s for an auto.
