There were other mishaps but I don't recall the details and the people involved.

They blew up tons of engines with their PCM, many trannys with their LSD and many more other problems.

Damn... and to think, I had an Intense box tune. Don't know if it was because of it, but my trans did blow after a month of running it

Why buy something sensible with a RWD setup when you can build something really stupid, like this

I had an Intense tranny and went through 3 Torque Converters in a short period of time. Had to spend $400-500 each time plus time + rental fees. That plus all the other crap I went through with Intense made me have to demod completely and go back completely to stock.

I was the first one to find out about the intense rocker problems when I pulled my valve covers for a yearly inspection. They told me that it's aluminum, and any shavings that weren't caught by the oil filter wouldn't be a problem because it was a "soft" metal and would be okay........

That's INTENSE for you!
