So what is Fast Friday exactly? It’s a weekly Volvo Forum post that we wrote and ran every Friday for a year that discusses Volvo performance, primarily engine output. As you can see by looking at the post titles above, the focus was to help you tune your Volvo for more horsepower and torque. Often the content drifted into pure theory, even so far as to get into math and physics.
