low trap speed... I have a '01 WS6 cam and bolt on car with a 150 shot. Last night it went 11.5 at 114 with a 7.5 1/8th and 1.65 60ft. Im running a fuddle 3800 stall with a moser 12-bolt with 3.73's. What is the cause of the low trap speed? I used to trap in the mid to low 120 range with my 6-speed. Anybody have any input on this?? Im new and ignorant to this automatic thing.

Im thinking my convertor may be kicking out on me. Could this be a suspect of a low trap?

What size converter/ company. Is it slipping? Your converter will rob HP and multiply torque. Your trap speed will drop a bit with a larger converter. When you drop your 60' your mph will drop.
