Default Ls4 tuning help

Hi guys. I'm trying to get costs together for tuning a ls4 engine. I'm looking to fit one to a fwd drag (to be different in some respects). I'm already looking to run it it on a carb with nitrous. But I'm unsure where sells aftermarket tuning parts for these engines, I'm going to turbo it eventually, in the meantime I'd like to see how much horsepower and 1/4 times I can do without a turbo/supercharger but within a reasonable budget.
Also just a question on transmissions, I've found a standalone controller that will run a early 4T65-E but are the figments the same ie bellhousing,starter etc or can it be made to fit.
Cheers

For the engine questions:

For the trans questions.. ehh, I don't know. I know there were some electrical upgrades done in '03, but I'm not sure if that makes a difference from a control standpoint.
