e4od upgrades
this is the last post i'll make regarding information i want to learn
IF the superduty injectors turbo and intercooler add too much HP and Torque for a stock e4od to handle what parts would i need to put into the e4od to make it handle that power? i know i should send it to a shop or buy a built one but im curious what there is that i can do on my own (i know that sounds dumb)

There is a lot that can be done depending on what HP you want to run
i am by no means an auto trans expert, Search E40D rebuild and mods on here and you will find lots of info.

Start w a large trans cooler. I think most guys do a 6.0 cooler, but anything probably from a modern 3/4 ton or greater would be fine.
Next, good quality shift kit, I like Superior's Tow Power kit a bit more than the Transgo Tugger in this application. Set up the most mild firmness, it is always easier to add firmness than to remove it.
Full installation requires dropping the unit to perform all the pump mods. May as well slap in the OD spiral snap ring while the pump is out.
The converter is one of the largest failure points I guess due to friction material quality. A triple discount, low stall, billet cover will do you wonders for ATF temp and performance of the truck.
And definitely do uppipes while trans out, mine are Riffraff I think. I would rock it from there on out, bet a stock E4OD would go pretty far in terms of torque load
