Default Building an LQ4 for Turbos and Nitrous

Ok, I've got a new LQ4 I'm gonna be dropping into my Z32. I've decided to twin turbo this engine and, as if a TT LQ4 in an import wasn't enough, throw a Nitrous Oxide System on it. I'm interested in the shortblock right now, what pistons, rods, bearings, rings, ect am I gonna need to handle around 700-800 HP?

depends on how much you wanna spend. 800 to the motor or 800 to the wheels? You are pretty much gonna need the best of everything to make it reliable.

800 HP at the motor. I know it's gonna be quite a few bills. I don't have a set budget for this engine, I have more like a philosophy: Everything I need, nothing I don't. If I need something, I'll buy it, whatever the cost. If I don't need it, I won't buy it.
