I've seen that video before. That boat is awesome and I love the way it sounds. If someday I take a trip down under you'll have to give me a spin in that thing.

Here in the states the PEP (popular equipment package) or PEG (popular equipment group) is just an upgrade package.

I'm still running the original OEM 13B-REW and sequential twins. However, I have done a few mods resulting in 310whp. One of these days I'll get it dyno tuned and my goal of 340+ish whp will be fulfilled. I know 340whp is a conservative number for today, but yearrrs ago when I started my project it was up there. lol

Anyways, I better shut up before someone rags on me for talking about something other than my Ford.

Exactly the reason I try to convince my friends to buy the American-made Mazda Atenza (which is built right along side the Ford Mustang, BTW).


(sorry Fred, but this thread needed a little adrenaline injection)
