mmmmmmmm..........could be right.....maybe next time try
running without the shell and the tailgate down or off
completely!!!........this will cut the parachute effect the tailgate

'course a KENNE-BELL supercharger on that 4.7 and a HYPER-TECH reprogrammer
might help get ya' the 15's you are after......................hehehehe!!!!
