Why would you send it out when you have it at a friend's shop? Can y'all not do the reconditioning and rebuild there?

There's really no reason to upgrade rings or pistons for a street car. Several guys are running 500+ hp on the stock block for years now (100K+ miles) without issue.

If you want to upgrade the block, it won't hurt anything but your wallet. It's your car, so do what you want.
