Default B18C1 Bottom End Rebuild Advice

Hi All,
I'm new to the website and am here for one reason. To get the best bottom end rebuild kit out there, just need to be pointed in the right direction. I totally F@cked up my motor today, I cried, cried, then I cried some more. Just as I was pulling into the dealership, it was making a wretched noise, and its the crank and rod bearings apparantly, and I got it there right before it threw a rod thank God. The motor is salvagable, and Honda of Peoria's top tech guy is going to completely blueprint the motor for me and make the bottom end perfect with a new bottom end kit. The kit he showed me looks pretty nice, its from Summit, its a Eagle performance bottm end kit that includes forged pistons, rods, crankshaft, all the rings etc. to do the install, and its $1800. It makes the compression 9.1 and he says it'll make the bottom end so strong I can turbo the shit out of it later if I want AND add nitrous and still have a reliable B18. I'm psyched, but I also want to know if there is a different manufacturer that would be better to go with for a bottom end kit. I also need a new oil pump, if anyone can help me find the parts I need at better prices, this experience at honda-acura.net would be totally useful. If not, any advice at all is certainly appreciated. I love my GS-R, and am looking foward to getting some more HP out of it. It just happens to be that hte rebuild on my motor will be cheaper to make a stronger motor out of it than it would be to fix it with HONDA parts. Thanks everyone for any input. Again, I want the STRONGEST bottom end kit out there for hte money, so throw em at me guys...
THanks everyone
