Krister Johansson, mechanic for CT/A driver Mathias Stenstrom’s Turbocharger Volvo, powered by a BMW in line 6 cylinder engine, said the main factor in lowering their previous best of 7.01 down into the first 6 second run in the class, an impressive 6.74, was in adjustments made in the chassis. Recent improvements enabled Mathias to keep his foot down the entire quarter mile. Krister said there is a lot more left as the boost on that run was 44 pounds from a system capable of 60 pounds.
