take it back to the person who originally worked on it, or just spend 1,300$ on an extended warrenty? and then pay 100$ and have the stealership do it right?
otherwise pay an arm and a weiner

Just get another motor and throw it in there. Cheaper. If it did this before and was fixed, it sounds like the real problem wasn't fixed (sorry, obvious). Partially plugged oil galleys, out of round journals, bad oil pump, etc.
car-part.com or ebay. under 1000 easily if you can do the labor yourself.

Yeah it's def a rod. you didn't help it too much by revving it, but the motor is shit now anyway.
No dealership is going to give you anything for that car, swap the motor. save yourself a ton of cash

Step 1: pull the valve covers and look for loose rocker arms and/or a broken valve spring.

Gotta love the quad 4, I have owned two and both of them had engine problems with under 100K on the clock.
The worst was a 97 cavalier that threw a rod through the block, which in turn started a fire under the hood. The other is in a 99 grand am that is sitting in my garage with metal flakes in the oil.

You spun a bearing dude. Sounds like it may also have bent the crank, or the bearing is really trashed, with that loud of a knock... Drain the oil, look for copper flakes. Remove the oil filter, cut it open, and if it contains the following, then it is a spun bearing:
