Anyway, just a few quick questions.

- When I turn the engine off, there is a considerable amount of "ticks and ping" noise from the engine as it cools. This is the first "performance" engine I have owned, so I drive it harder than I did my previous cars, but not what I would consider excessive - is this normal?

The noises you are hearing, sound normal. Probably just the exhaust and the catalytic converters cooling-off. The metal expands (hot) and then contracts (when cooling). When this happens, you hear it in the form of ticks and pings.
