Here it is.....

Pretty damn impressive IMHO considering it ran 10.99 @128mph with only 18lbs of boost!!!

I know a few of the Intense guys. Saw the car first time out going low 11's @ 120+... very cool setup.

Friend told me about the pass day it happened.

Wonder what it could run if it was RWD? I'm guessing if it could get a 1.5x - 1.4x 60' low 10's would be possible considering it is going 128mph in the 1/4, but getting that kind of 60' with a FWD car is a major PITA!

I'm also curious as to how heavy this car was when it ran 10.99?
If it's full weight with a full interior that makes it even more impressive to me.....

It would be nice if we could just drop in their shortblock assemblies and go. Times like that show what the current run can handle.

From reading the Intense-racing page it has an 8.0:1 race shortblock....
