this is actually a fairly common misconception... the hpop res is fully flushed the instant you start the engine... the oil doesn't hang out there and there is no sludge there ever.

And I believe the 6.0L torqshift torque converter is a good cheap upgrade for the 7.3 as well.

for the trans... BTS or John Woods hands down.... If you can't swing that then get the Ford factory reman.... there is a HUGE failure rate with local rebuilds on those trannys.
I intend to "fix" my tranny with a 6 speed swap when I can
as for tuners... the BD is a nice entry level chip but PHP would be my choice.... there are a couple others that are good.... I'm NOT thrilled with my swamps tuning.
