Low mph can still get you a nice e.t.
Saw some strange time slips at BMP on Sat. This guy had a 2000 mustang that he bought wrecked. He put in a 03 maruader engine yes maruader engine in it along with a Lentech AOD. Complete tubular front end and complete drag suspension. He ran a 12.40's at 102 mph :o . He was cutting some nasty 1.5 sixty foot times. He built the car to bracket race. It ran the same time 3-4 times. So for all you guys with low mph if you cut a good sixty foot time look what can happen.

exactly, the same reason i'm running high 14's @97 lately... lack of traction...... if i could pull a 60' to save my life after those lowering springs i could run low 14's like i used to....

Steve Barton is the guy that owns the car you are talking about. He just got it together to run in the FFW Mod Motor class. He might have some issues with the stall converter he has. A lot of slippage will also cause your MPH to be off.

Steve Barton ! :o 
I use to hang out with him way back in the day untill he got a little to big for his britches.
I remember back in 1992 or so he had one of the first Vortech powered Mustangs (1991 GT) around. The very first race I got in my Mustang after I put the bottle on was against him on Hillsborough Ave., I put a few cars on him.
After that we hung out at the track quite a bit when we were both going to Fast Fords for work. Then he changed combos in his blue notchback more times than I could keep up with.
Now I guess he has this new combo.. Too funny.
<Story time over>
