questions for the new mods

i have a 2002 7.3L and i was wandering if a torque converter and jw VB would be good enough for a bigger turbo, injectors, and HPOP or would i have to just get a new tranny built?????

Thats a blanket statement. How big are you going with the fuel air and oil? Also depends on how you drive, if you plan on drag racing, competition etc. You may not need billet internals, but a nice set of clutches and steels, a higher capacity pump, a valve body matched to your mods and tire size, plus a nice converter will go a long way

I would recommend getting a Hybrid 200ish CC injector, with a stock or 20-30% over nozzle. Better fuel atomization from higher ICP and smaller nozzle, can be ran on a stock pump very easily, and good safe combo for 400hp, wish i did that and i'd probably still be running my stock long block.
