Default Slow SRT8 Magnum !

I'm trying to figure out why my Magnum is so slow.

I have the slowest times I've seen. Mph are slowest also.

I've tried different launch techniques,tire pressure etc.

My best is 13.70 and 102 mph. Mph is way down compared to others on the forums.

I was wondering about the gas I use which is Sam's club or Wall Mart premium.

Anyone out there running these brands and still turning good numbers?

Thanks
Herb

Your times can vary from track to track. A lot depends on the air at the track you race at. Go run at denver in the middle of the summer vs a below sea level track in the early spring or fall. There are a LOT of things to consider. What are your 60' times like?

Probably the track, take the short trip to Houston and run there.
