Default injector help

OK so my stock injectors are on their last leg, I'm going to put something bigger in place of them. I really want some stage 2's (160/100) from rosewoods but my question is what supporting mods are immediately required?

I was planning on a T500 HPOP, TW tunes, down pipe, and 4" or 5" exhaust at the same time too.
Do i have to have E-Fuel?
Its only a daily driver no hauling so can i get away without the intercooler for a little bit?
I've been looking into either the 6.0 or newer 7.3 intercooler not sure which is best.
How long will the stock turbo handle them?

thanks for any help i have been trying to figure this out for quite some time.

All depends on your driving habits, your going to need tranny mods, gauges, intake, exhaust and chip are a must. Intercooler, fuel, hpop and turbo are all good things to have with it.

Do you know how the truck will run without the E-Fuel? I decided I'm going to put the irate system on when i can afford it.

it will run, it will just be hard on your injectors as they can use more fuel than the stock pump can supply.
drive it easy and don't go crazy with the tunes and you will be fine for a while.

You will need a fuel gauge, depending on how good of shape your stock pump is in you might be able to get away with driving it nicely. But if you were to romp on it its not going to be able to keep up and you don't want to let fuel pressure drop super low, that is really hard on the injectors

OK thanks that answers alot of my questions about the fuel system. Now what about the E4OD? I have a friend that had just a valve body and converter and was running stage 2s intercooler, E-Fuel, adrenaline HPOP, DP tunes, and i believe he had comp 910s in it as well. Does this sound right my trans is built about the same just a cheap valve body that ill be replacing with a JW valve body?

Alright thanks. I've been told and read many different thoughts or ideas to what the E4OD will handle or need.
