W is "wide" and O is "open." The f means the same thing as in WTF.

I thought DSC stood for Drag Street Combat … so when you want a TLGP you make sure your DSC light is on.

Maybe time to add a couple of additional items to the list, like:

DFIC: Direct Flow Intercoller
HDI: High Density Induction
twurbo or twincharge
venom (nitrous oxide kit)
M62: Eaton supercharger upgrade from stock M45

Well, I thought I had more but those are the ones I can think of right now.

How about a Performance Encyclopedia!

Thanks and have fun modding!

19%,17%,15%: Referring to Supercharger Reduction Pulleys, and their size.
ABS: Anti-lock Braking System
A/F: Air Fuel Ratio
AGS: In reference to M7 Tuning's Air Gain System
AI: Alcohol Injection
Airbox: See C.A.I.
BBK: Big Brake Kit
BPV: Bypass Valve on a Supercharger
............
Please feel free to add. I will post additions/corrections ASAP!

Mike

Would only take a few hundred hours to put together...
