How do i run faster then 15's 1/4 mile

I was wondering if I could get some advise on how to make my truck faster… I would like to run under 15’s possibly low 14’s.
This is what I have done so far to my truck. I have a Edge with attitude with Edge 100 hp injectors and a AFE stage 2 intake A 4inch exhaust turbo back I have a newer lift pump and I run about 13-14 lbs at idle and about 7-8 lbs wide open.
Everything else is stock.
I don’t know what I am pushing for power??? But I want more
Please help!!!
THANKS

What do you truly want help with: Power or the need for it?

The push for more power rests solely in the amount of money, time and effort you want to spend. Like Cowboy wrote, fill out your sig so that we know what your vehicle is and what modifications you currently have. One thing at a time.

Looks like you have quite a bit installed already. What was your performance numbers before and after the mods that are on your truck?

What is more important: Fast or reliable. Start investing in reliable first. Look into performance upgrades for your tranny. This will deliver power to your wheels while increasing durability. Then increase the amount of air going into your engine. The best way to increase power is by installing a new turbo. Pricey though.

a stock tranny will do that to you, i would bet its slipping pretty especially with a 100hp injectors in there, not to mention the edge with attitude, i would say if you had the the tranny built which is not cheap it would probably run 14's dyno it too. see what your making for power, you need about 400-450 to get to where you wanna go

Tranny rebuild, bigger turbo and some Mach 4's injectors from F-1.... HERE ..... and you'll be in the 13's. Can't say about your injectors...don't know them or anyone with them. This assumes you have a 3.55 LSD rear end and can launch in 4X4?
Ahh...I see the 4x4.
You may also have to deal with Dodges Tq Mgmt program that defuels when too much torque is being read w/o any movement. Not sure if 99's had this tranny protection feature but it prevents building boost on the line...pre launch.

Even without building boost...you should be well under 15.0 sec. with the above.

99s dont have the tq managment. Also look at adding some kind of aftermarket fuel pump, fass walbro or something similar. -

You'll be in the 405-415 Hp range with the stock turbo, and a trany that will hold the HP... Trany, then a turbo should get you started... (maybe bigger injectors down the road..) but I'd start with those...
