As for what is needed, new pistons, connecting rods, head gasket, vavle springs & retainers, and the wet kit. A wet kit is a shot of nos with the nos using its own supply of gas to create a mixture and shoots it into your intake which then causes a bigger cumbustion by releasing more oxygen in the chambers. I have a non-return type fuel system, dtz y itz nt just a plug and play hook up for some dry kits for our cars. As far as the tranny goes, im not fully knowledgable, but my friends father will be doing its rebuild but im guessing a new tourqe converter and mayb some other parts to streghnten it up. So yes i do undertsand my situaution, i've done my research, and i understand your point of veiw and i appreciate it. realy i do. but i asked the quesition about the tranny fluid, because for nw im just doing a 65 shot, once i get my headers, downpipe and exhauhst then im going to put the 75shot. im asking about the 400hp, because i read the gm ecotec build book and thats what it said....400hp can be achieved with the upgrades listed above and a 150shot of nitrous. I have no problem with riping my car apart, it will be work, but nothing new to me. I must admit i've never actualy done my 'own' build but i've worked with my father on his builds before. As far as cost, i know it aint cheap, thats why i said i've been buying stuff little by little and probably won't do my build until sometime early next year, maybe after my b-day in april. I can go on into detail about my plans, but im just tring to show that i do know, and i am planning, this is why im asking questions. i might have stated myself wrongly, so im just trying to fix myself.
In case you didn't know, like you said, you have a return-less fuel system, typically, you'd get the fuel by splitting the return lines on a return fuel system but in your circumstance you'd have to get it from a valve thats on your engine. You can read more about it here:

Like I said though, regardless of what that build book tells you or anyone else tells you, you are not reaching 400 HP with a 150 shot of nitrous and a few bolt ons.

A turbo setup will reach 400 HP, not a simple nitrous setup.
Regardless, you'll have to do motor work to reach this amount of power on the L61.

damn i ddidn't even realize that they were coming out with turbo kits for our cars now. I thought it would take like another 6months or so the way these comapnies have been going. But this is good to hear. I would go with a garrett setup though, i've seen a few cars with garrett setups and itz amazing...no offense against hahn, they have some good records too. Anyone going to actually do the build when it comes out? i would love to see some numbers. Once again thanks everyone, especially NJHK. I know you had good intentions with you posts man; i took nothing to offense and i'm realy appreciative. That posting of the tranny spec though was a little hard to decipher; i didnt realize whta it was at first. lol, but i got out the quarts needed for the tranny fluid replacement. thanks red wing.
