Mike Marine Dyno Day

Mike Marine claims his car made 615rwhp. So I said, "No Way! And I'll bet you $100 it doesn't make more than 525 rwhp." He accepted the bet, and off to the dyno we went. When will these Mustang guys learn???

I just noticed he has a 4v too and I only have a 2v and stopped by 6200rpm. Hell he went clear to 7k. There has to be something wrong with it or it's low boost.

That's what I keep telling him - His car must be broken. Boost gauge says ~15psi at ~6800rpm.

[jivepepper]

Does he have a forged bottom end?

[turbo50mike]

Yes. Steel block, SHM did all the work.

if its stock hell no

[ADD8oi]

could be clutch slippage or something leaking?

[jivepepper]

oh noes not SHM! I do most the work myself.

[jivepepper]

edit oh he claimed 615 not 515 I misread

[jivepepper]

I made 515 without ice and 12psi? I don't see why he didn't make a little more. I also trap 130 in the 1/4 so I know it makes a little more than the dyno says.

"only" 522
