Thank you for posting this. One of the hardest parts about joining this board was trying to figure out what all of the acronyms meant. I was too proud to ask. I just fumbled through it.

Thanks Tony

To The Top, its when people want their post at the top of the list. Once a thread has a reply to it, it goes back to the top of the list.

basic performance upgrades


this more so fits things like supras or boosted car applications. somewhat those little mods they do to the car that give a GOOD amount of power gain for cheap. like on an 03 cobra for instance. a chip, pulley, intake and exhaust are considered BPU..

cause almost all of them have that!!


hope that helps
