Default LS Swapped Genesis Coupe Help?

so i recently finished my ls swap on my genesis. i was out doing my first data logs for my tuner last night and they told me to give 100% throttle, i did that and the car hauled ***, the car stalled and i couldnt get it cranking again to start it, and the starter started smoking badly, the starter and the negative cable both were very very hot, currently just put a new starter on the car and still same thing no crank just a solid click from the starter, im about to try to spin the crank by hand to see if it may have locked up, other than that, what are some things to look for?

Pull the spark plugs to see if it is hydro locked on fuel? Unfortunately, if it that happened on full throttle something may have bent.

pulled the plugs and they seem okay maybe too lean

I tried turning the motor over again and heard a little bit of noise from the right side (passenger side) of the motor so I pulled the head and still nothing abnormal, I’m gonna pull the other side next and see if there’s anything there but I highly doubt it, I’m wondering if the motor got oil starved and melted rods to the crank? Is that a pretty good possibility?
