What he said.....

Mustangs are a funny thing and drivers are even funnier. I have a friend with an 05 Mustang. He started with the bolt-ons and then threw on a Super Charger. The car ran 12.6. He then took out the blower, worked on the suspension and the car now runs 12.89.....no blower.

I have seen stock -03 - '04 Cobras run mid 12's and I have seen them run mid-13's......because of the driver.

There are a lot of ways to make a car fast, but they all involve either adding power, pulling weight, or making the car transform the power to ther road better.....or you do all three.

I think Colin (Redneck) is right on the money. Your trap is suspect. Generally speaking the trap speed is a direct function of how much hp you are making. So, while the dyno says one thing, the car is saying something else. If the dyno was done properly, then I would suspect something transmission related.
