Default blew a piston no money now what?

well i jsut got my h/c done about 2mo ago had a nitours problem and blew a piston i havent pulled the motor yet but i need to figure out what i should do. i love the way i drove before, i haved a set of stock pistons sitting hear that i could put in but if i save monye i can put some forged ones in or if its not gonna cost to much more sell the block and crank and 408 it but thats my last option.
i dont want to 383 cause that is the same as a 408 in $$$ so i would do that.
i love the way it was and i want to keep the nitrous 200 shot jsut need to get it to work right maybe 11.4:1 is to high on pump gas i dotn kwno what to do but i dont have money and i dont what to have to do it again so...
