I need top end power
I ran a 15.00 1/4 mile this weekend and i had a lot of power from start to about the begining of third gear around 70-80 mph and then i felt like i lost a little hp any ideas that i could do to increase that power in 3rd.

A bigger turbo with a larger housing will pull strong in the upper rpm.
An HTT 62mm turbo with the stainless 16cm housing should do just that.
Obviously, it will not respond as well down low.

I don't think you have enough fuel to run a 16 housing on a daily driver and be happy.
I would look at a 62/71/14. With a boosted launch of around 15psi assuming you have a billet output shaft will drop you down into the low 14's maybe high 13's.
Another thing to consider is a lock up switch, but be careful with locked to locked shifts.

It lets the Edge full all the way up to the RPM limit instead off cutting back fuel after you go past 2700rpms like the standard Juice's and Comps do. So your making power past 2700 instead of it fropping off.

You will run mid 14's if you launch at 20 PSI boost. If you don't have a fully built tranny with billet input,output shafts etc don't do it!
HOT unlock will help a tad on the low end and mostly on the 2700 RPM+ stuff. If your trans shifts before 2700, you will not see a lot of benefit from the HOT unlock.
