Going to start off with apologizing to all for needing the Terms to Mod's for Dummies...lol
Most abbreviate and I hopefully will too soon but what do abbreviations stand for ....I am a noob.

For example what is WOT???

The more abbreviations you give me and what they mean the less I have to ask thanks for all the help.

I recently learned what axle back is.

 

wide open throttle

 

thanks

 

CIA is cold air intake

 

Actually, it's CAI. CIA is Central Intelligence Agency.

 

lol you right, i was watching a show about the CIA and thats obviously wat I was thinking about thanks for the correction S/C is supercharger, i dont think i messed that up

 

Yeah gots to know your terms....It took me a sec to figure out what a Vert was when I 1st saw it here, I figured it must mean conVERTable....thats a weird one..

 

Here's a couple more...

NA = naturally aspirated
FI = forced induction... [sm=badbadbad.gif]

 

I/H/E is a common abbreviation for intake, header, exhaust...which are bolt-on mods, another term you may see. With bolt-ons you stay n/a, which stands for naturally aspirated and basically means the engine isn't being forced to produce more power artificially as bolt-ons just lessen the defiencies of the car when stock, the other side of n/a is f/i or forced induction, artifically making more power. There are three different types of forced induction mainly, turbo, supercharger, and nitrous. Each of those has advantages and disadvantages but i'll stop here, GL.

 

It's also the Culinary Institute of America--a school for chefs.
