i'd replace that engine with a nice fresh one, thats built and maybe go with a carb set up
carbs can make a shit ton of hp as well with some nice nitrous

Do a compression check and a leak down test. Does it burn any oil? If its good, leave the bottom end alone. The pistons are forged from the factory. The stock rotating assembly (crank, rods and pistons) will handle more horsepower than the factory block will. Don't be afraid of it.
