One set of tires and several fluid changes later, the car is still running great! I've learned to manage it well at low speeds - it's a beast that doesn't really like speeds below 40mph. 
Running RE-11's now instead of the Toyo R888's we put on when we built the car. Decided that if I get stuck in the rain again I'd have a better chance of surviving this way!
Car runs and handles incredible when you let her go. Haven't found anyone to keep up with me in Western Wisconsin, and I'm OK with that...
Only issue I've had is that at 155mph when its 100F+ out it tends to get a little hot!
The added roar of the engine made the stock stereo sound intolerable. Well, it was pretty intolerable before...
So, I had some work done on the sound system and the interior. Props to Mike at Flynn Brothers Customz Temple of Boom who did all the interior/sound work. And a big thanks to Doug Wozney at Dougz Custom Paint and Fab who did his normal masterful job on the blue interior paint to match his world class paintwork on the rest of the car.
Planning on sending the car back to its makers at Forged this winter to finish some tuning work on the RaceLogic TC System and then having them give it a once over. I'm sure they'll find something else to do while its there!
So, here's some pics!

Looking good Mark! VERY clean install. Focal makes some great audio goodies, I had a set of their components in one of my cars the the quality was just unreal.
