I was about to request it, and offer to pay if necessary, but I didn't have to. That's where they send their LS (and now LT) machine and assembly work. Covered under warranty.
Very good experience overall. PM me for more info.

As you know my last car had WCCH StageII, stock cam, M1 0w40, 20K+ miles, changed oil every 3-5K miles, many track days, passd wiggle test, all was good but found a wall at track 
Right now new car is completely stock with warranty. I look forward to your testing and conclusions as I'm sure they will be interesting and I will consider them when the time comes for WCCH to upgrade my heads again.

Work done by.....Ragin Racin
Miliage.....30K when work done. Pro active(exhuaust valves)..nothing was wrong with the motor that I knew of. Did not have the guides check before rebuild.
Materials....heads ported..solid Ferrea exh valves. A Stage 4 build, so the heads have all the goodies. Installed ARP studs, Crane lifters, Comp Cam trunion upgrade.
Cam....Stalker..551/501
Oil change....once a year..usually about 3k miles.
Oil type....usually Mobil 1 5-30, but will use other full syn oils if I catch them on sell. Ragin Racin put Redline in it.
Use...just tooling around..once a year to the drags.
A couple of thousand miles since build....everything is great.

Too-Fast - I also had my car in Katy at Bumbera's and I want to say the name "G&G" for doing my head work came out.... He kept referring to a guy named JOE? Does this sound correct?
anyway:
HeadWork - Factory heads, re-worked with new Valves, guides, springs, etc by G&G and installed by Bumbera's.
54K Miles on the car
Cruising the Streets with some blips of the throttle.
Running Mobil 1 oil.
