Oil analyzers just recently
New replacement motor has approximately 3 track weekends and about 400 miles not really sure how to read this. No undesirable remark so I assume it's good. Guess the traces of titanium are coming from the valve spring retainers.

For comparison, here is the LT1 used oil analysis thread. I know you're not on stock motor and probably using yours a little harder than most of the motors sampled in the thread but at least it gives you something to compare to.

I didn't see any glaring red flags but did notice that the Zinc content is up there fairly high. If you are still running cats this may be an issue over the long term. Looks like a good oil/package and your fuel saturation was low (although there wasnt many miles on it). These test are really best used for trend analysis. I personally would log all data into a spreadsheet and plot the data. This will alert you to any abnormal changes that may be happening inside the engine but that's a little extreme for most people. The main variable will be how you gauge usage....
