Yeah, except that some Ford Engineers have stated that the clutchpacks spec'd for the PTU will only transfer about OEM torque levels, anything past that will just result in slip and would therefore go to the front wheels. It's a FWD based car so that makes sense. The bad part of that is that it means if you bring it up to say, 450hp, all of that extra torque gets routed through the front and will likely make it an understeering pig without suspension tuning and a lot better throttle modulation.
