Should my trap speed be quicker? So my setup is basically all boltons, 3200 circle d stall, comp cam 224, tune and my best time last night was a:
13.0 @ 107
2.0 60'
Shouldn't at least my trap speeds be faster with my setup?
Could my tune be off?
No one was hooking last night and my DRs are a little dry rotted so I had a hell of a time getting out of the hole.

107 isn't a bad trap speed by any means. Do you happen to know what the DA was? Air and sea level can have a huge impact on trap speed and ET. Of course that wouldn't rule out your tune being off but there are so many factors that can skew trap speed its ridiculous. Were there any other F bodies at the track for you to compare with?
hmmm that seems a little low to me, was this at gateway? i was trapping 104.5 with just longtubes, ory and tune, but my shift points were also messed up and i was losing some speed on shifts. what tires and what psi in them? who did the tune? can you post your 1/8th mile trap and speed? id also check your plug wires, air filter, etc.
EDIT: x2 on the da, what was it, or what date did you go and ill look it up for you if you went to gateway.

Your trap speed seems on the low side. Mind you, my car is a 6 speed but when my car was bone stock I trapped 108. As for your spinning issue, you're tire pressure is too low with that tire. I gone a 1.71 on that exact tire with 22psi in the tires. You can't run a drag radial at low pressures like you can with a bias-ply tire.
