No.  You do not adjust the cost basis for your regular tax.  The cost basis for your regular tax (using your example) is $2.  You have a regular tax gain of $55 per share.  Your AMT cost basis is $102, and you have an AMT loss of $45 per share.  You asked "Is this just covered by AMT credit over time, or do I also need to do an adjustment for capital gains/losses?"  The answer is it covered by AMT credit over time.
