My buddy's X is dead, sad face
Yea, its hard sometimes to get them to warranty anything.. much less a modded and tuned car..
The mods aren't really the deal breaker.. Once you tune it the engine warranty is gone.. Which is what you are going to need..

Chances are that Kaizen did a good job on the tuning. They do quite a few X's and have a good reputation. Just talk to Scott about finding the cause. It will help everyone in the community because this is a strange engine failure. Its going to be expensive! They are good people and are not in business to screw anyone. Good luck!

But it doesn't hurt to try.
So let me get this straight, the 378tq, the drag racing, and the time attacks had nothing at all to do with you loosing a valve?
While I agree that your tune was probably ****, by your statement above, neither of you knew what you were doing, so your just as much at fault as he was. Regardless, your tune wasn't the sole reason your motor dropped a valve, so stop trying to say it was.

To answer your question though, nothing. Valve damage is usually a result of something timing related (timing belt/chain breaking/non-interference head), FOD, improper installation, or knock.
Look up the TSB (probably a good idea to print and take with you) and then just say you have difficulty starting when it's real cold out, or whatever the TSB says the symptoms are and you should be taken care of. It's what I did and they switched me out to the, at the time new blue relays.
