Rings seat quicker then most people think there are dozens of brake in concepts, choose one

Really your rings are seated after the first 20 minutes of the car running. 50 miles and you are good to go.

As far as the chipping and tuning, that's all you need. They will probably use Turboedit or something similar, it's pretty much a standalone, depending on how they do it. Much better than an AFC and cheaper than Hondata.
For only 10-13 psi daily driven, you really don't need to build anything, except if you have high high miles, then you might want a quick build up, but factory parts will hold that power fine.
For all the work they are doing, the price seems really good to me. Do it.

buy bottom end gasket set
buy head gasket
pay someone to build the motor
pay someone to pull and install the motor
misc fluids
buy oil filter
you go ahead and price that out for me... then you say it isnt that much... there is no problem running 13psi on stock internals... and if you were to do all of that i would sleeve it too... i mean why the hell not???

thanks for the input guys. i found on g2ic.com that there is another g2 with a bone stock ls, and after tunning with turboedit he made 279.3whp and 260 lbft torque. id say thats pretty effing good on a stock b18a.(t3t4 )

a lot cheaper than 6k.
