Yep, at that weight and trap speed, there is something not right with your setup. If you punch those #'s in the chart, your a tick over stock power. About 200 at the wheels. How does your car run? Any issues at all?

Yeah that sure doesn't help, but even if you give him a 14.0 at 97, that's still around 210-215 at the wheels with his weight. And yeah, that is coming off that chart in the sticky, but it's dead on with my car ran and dyno'd. Those mods should be helping more than that.
We'll get that car in the 12's before we're done lol.

Are you running street tires, drag radials or slicks? With those times and traction issues I'll assume they're just street tires. You really need to get something with more bite if you want better et's. Your 60ft is key to happiness.
Still doesn't explain the low trap speed with your mods thou. If your going back to the track this Fri. try different shift points, etc. You should be trapping much higher, that's if there is nothing wrong with your car.
What year mustang is this, and it would it be a convertible? A stock LX fox was capable of low 14's stock, some will say even 13's.

Launch rpm will be determined by what tires you have, street tires (not drag radials) don't hook up well. You'll need good sticky tires to launch any harder than you are now. You know the saying "if your spinning, your not winning" is true. Let us know the outcome on Fri.
P.S. And some punctuation would be nice, replys as one big sentence are harder to understand lol.
