Common modding terms

  

JD1969 -> Common modding terms (11/12/2006 1:47:47 PM)

Since there has been some confusion as of late about what certain terms mean when it comes to modding cars, I hope this clears up things a bit.
"Cam only"...This refers to an engine in which the only INTERNAL mod has been the cam, the car can and should have other supporting mods, including exhaust, gears and a stall if the car is auto.

"Bolt ons"...This refers to any mod that does not require going into the engine. Headers, cat backs, underdrive pulley, CAI's, gears and intakes are all bolt on's.

"Internally stock"...Means that the short block (block, rods and pistons) are stock. The heads can be swaped as well as having anyother mods. The key here is that the internals are stock.

Hope this helps avoid members misunderstanding things. I will add to this if I forgot some.

Boosted!!

Sleeper05 -> RE: Common modding terms (12/2/2006 9:13:19 PM)

"bar" refers to the measurement of one atmospheric pressure of boost, which is 14.7psi

"lean" means the motor is not getting enough fuel

"rich" means the motor is getting too much fuel

"vht" is an additive put on race track surfaces to make them stickier, and it burned my eyes today

Etanimulc -> RE: Common modding terms (11/5/2007 11:39:46 AM)

Does the term "all motor" mean everything but forced induction?

It means All N/A power and no F/I or nitrous.
