Beefing up a built LS2 for big power.

Currently have a 402 LS2 built by SDPC. It has around 3500 miles on it, maybe less. It made almost 600rwhp, after a TH400 trans. I am changing out the blower to a F1C, and a whole bunch of other new parts.
My crank snout got prety torn up, so I will need to have a machine shop take it out. I am thinking that this would be a good time to upgrade the lower end. What would you guys suggest? I was considering maby billet mains, or the W2W girdle? Maybe dowel pins? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I know that W2W does good work, but I am trying to have it done locally if possible. If they dont sell their girdle, what other options would you recommend?

DM Performance has a girdle and they work great! I've used a lot of them. But I advise having it aligned honed by a competent machine shop if you do decide to install one. Just bolting it on is not good enough.
