First off. Sorry to hear it man.

If you want to go for more power some day:
I would pull the heads. Inspect them. Then if all is good send the short block to IPP and have him sell you a new built bottom end then re-attach the heads. If the heads are toast then go long block. I doubt they are though.

If you will always be happy with under 550whp:
Buy the best deal on a used block and swap it in.

I have several questions to ask you though if you don't mind:

So how much boost were you making? How was it tuned and was it tuned after the upgraded impeller? What pulley setup did you have on? What gas were you using? What was your afr's? and finally. What did you have for a fuel system?
