I agree. while I saw the same Ti levels as the OP, my engine was a much bigger build and it got used fully. My street driving is modest performance but my event performance use is extensive.
With just the Ti levels, I paid attention to it, but it was the later oil pressure drops that drove the bottom end rebuild. My situation and the OPs is similar only in that our Ti levels were similar.

two rods share the same crankshaft journal. Particularly when you do a power build like mine, the rods are known to scuff and wear the protective coating off the Ti, leading to potentially rapid wear. It also happens to stock LS7s, that are only street driven, but that is less frequent than built engines.
