Don't forget-
"Sticker" - Item placed on the body of the car, know to add anywhere from 20HP to an extra two pistons, depending on whether or not the sticker appears in the fast and the furious

RE: Tech (and otherwise) Abbreviations ....
good gob this is a great idea
Toe = mesurment between the leading edges of the tires
Caster = the angle to which the steering pivot axis is tilted forward or rearward from vertical
Camber = the angle of the wheel relative to vertical
DOM = drawn over mandrel (seamles tubing used for its strenth)
MOD = reason to spend lots of money

I have always thought modding up 4 bangers was pretty retarded, but hey, to each his own.
I didn't even know that was lil bow wow, or whatever.....token black guy in Japan.
Don't know if I would watch it again..

Okay, turn the oven off 'cause I'm done. Just added torque converter and stall speed to the list. If anyone has any corrections, I'd be happy to make them. 
And thanks again to all for your help and input - I know the people new to modding will appreciate this list.

STALL SPEED - The engine RPM level at which the torque converter "locks" and overcomes whatever resistance is present - car weight, brakes on, etc. - and begins to spin the tires. The whole idea behind different stall speeds is to allow the car to launch at or just below the point where the engine makes the most torque. With the proper stall speed the engine can be revved to peak torque without breaking the tires loose. That way, the engine doesn't have to build up to the peak RPM point - all of the power is right there, on tap. The most important factors when selecting a torque converter is the camshaft, stall speed and weight of the car.
TORQUE CONVERTER - In automatic transmissions it takes the place of the manual clutch and is used to transmit power from the engine to the driveshaft. (See also STALL SPEED)
