Injector choice advice

Just wondering if a stock e4OD will hold up to 50hp injectors? My newest truck needs injectors soon. So just needing advice. Want a bit more power

truck is not inter cooled. 35s. Edge revolver 6 position tuner. Mostly daily driving. May tow here and there

E4OD's are stout transmissions, the weak link is the torque converter, check my sig, I abuse my truck and trans has taken it like a champ.

If your e4od is in reasonable shape and aren't mean to it.
Adam imo is spot on with the converter.
if you are reasonable with power application and don't let it shift under power itll live till it dont.

See the load on my sig? it's 15k and when I mean I abuse it I mean WOT from a dead stop pulling those 15k just to feel the POWA.

He's saying don't WOT thru gears like I do

I in the past if pulling would back off throttle when it shifts. The shift points are the time for the biggest challenge with more power.. My engine will be on the rev limiter faster than the trans can really keep up with.. its not ideal but a trans build is in my future.

My trans just has NO chance if I do that. It accelerates fast enough that it simply won't shift fast enough. 50lbs of boost vs stock e40d.. lol. The tow tune made 450/840 iirc . Any more than that and the converter says peace out

Exactly.
You can get 70 hp or so with just a chip.
$350 Hydra and done.
Maybe that's all you need/want?
