Crazy stuff!!:cool:

Force F1 "Armed Force" Leaving for the USA this Force is powered with the same record breaking engine as Sudden Force. The PFM (Priest Family Marine) Engine is a 1700 Turbo Charged Intercooled, 555 cubic inch Chev Block. After testing ....the recorded speed of the day, at only 60% throttle, was a whopping
135 mph....Now that's got to make your eyes water!

Back in the late 70's, early 80's, there was a company call Performance First Marine which built turbocharged marine engines, and used the same initials PFM.
