Default Injectors and Stock Tranny

I would like to bump up my injectors a little bit, but dont really have to money to up the transmission. If I had stage one 160 cc injectors put into my truck, would I have to worry about ruining my transmission?
Would I be able to send my stock injectors to rosewood and have them built to stage ones and how much would that cost?

Also I would probably need an Intercooler...where is the best place to get one and how much would one price out?

Sorry for the question after question post. Im basically trying to see what some of the OBS guys have done for their setups and how much it cost them.

Thanks guys

Your tranny should be fine with the injector upgrade. You might need a Torque converter to hold it but that would be it for right now I think... Usually you want a turbo upgrade from stock when you get bigger injectors so you move enough air to match the fuel. You would do ok with the stock intercooler as well. With no turbo or intercooler you will probably get a little warm on EGTs but if you are smart and watch what your doing I would think you should be fine.

In stock form the e4do is weak, add more fuel to the fire and it will not last long. If you drove conservatively and did not rod it you should be fine for a while.

Have to talk to Rosewood and see what he would charge. For a cheaper bang for your buck, find a set of AD injectors out of a superduty... should give you a bump to 300-320hp.

Intercooler... get a superduty ic and make your own pipes, can be done for about 300-400 with a used IC and a bit of fabrication.
