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.

No the shop is really limited to remove and replace type work. No machine equipment beyond lifts, hand tools and some parts cleaner stations not big enough to handle a block. No hot bath. Otherwise I might go for it 
I thought the stock rings and pistons were the source of the oil over consumption problem outlined in the TSB?
