Broken Intense Input Shaft Broke my Intense 300M input shaft this weekend. Broke on the 1 to 2 shift. Only my second time to the track this year. Hoping that maybe I can fix it before the season ends and get my 10 second pass in. Might not be able to use their input shaft. Not sure if they will even cover it breaking. More than likely not. Looking at possibly GM Racing input shaft that will hold up to 1200 hp!
Here's the video:

Update:
Spoke with John at Intense Racing today. Right away he offered to split the difference with me on the cost of a replacement input shaft. Unfortunately the GM shafts are no longer available. I guess partially due to the government buying up the particular metal they are made of as of late.
Taking into consideration that I bought this shaft back in 2009 and have had a few seasons of racing on it, I couldn't be happier! He said he was just happy to hear that someone broke it for a good reason, power! Said the few they have had break were due to bad balancers or impbalanced torque converter causing vibration that broke the shaft. Mine is strictly power of course!

What is your best pass to date? I heard your were having trouble with trans slippage so you had Kevin re-do Daves work with some special upgrades and tricks.
That turbo sure sounds nice. Hopefully you didn't drive your car to the track and get stuck lol.

Yes, this car is driven back and forth to the track. It's truly a street car and full weight, no shortcuts! Flatbed tow back home wasn't too cheap for the 75 mile trip!
