The first rebuild has a high probability of failure, so it's not particularly wise to go crazy on internal parts.
New short blocks are cheap, and Ray Pampena (now Scott Merkel) sell some VERY reasonably priced staged upgrade blocks. IPS does too. Since time is a major issue for you, I'd highly recommend buying an assembled short block from Merkel or IPS. Peace of mind, time efficient, well priced... Why fuck around with machine shops that all seem to suck balls?
Sorry to hear about the failure. That would be a really frustrating way for an engine to go out. I'm very grateful that I've never experienced something like that in my car or any car I've tuned. How much faith did you have in the knock sensor?

i agree to a point. but anyone who resbuilds a motor without forged piston is a retard. The factory rods are fine to 600 hp wheel
