LS1 & Internet Acronyms - Defined
One of the most confusing things for new LS1 owners is all of the acronyms that fly around the net to describe parts, upgrades, etc... Lets compose a list of acronyms that are commonly seen that might help the newer (and some of the older!) members out.
Examples:
MAF = Mass AirFlow sensor (measures amount of air entering intake)
EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation (emissions system)
TBODY = Throttle Body
PCV = Positive Crankcase Ventilation
M6 = 6-speed transmission
T56 = actual part name for the M6 transmission
A4 = 4-speed automatic
4L60E = actual part name for the A4 transmission
HPP3 = Hypertech Power Programmer 3
PCM = your vehicles computer control unit
ASR = Camaro version of traction control
TCS = Firebird version of traction control
LQ4 = iron block, LS1-based 6.0L truck engine
If you have some more, feel free to ask!

AIR - Air Injection Recirculation (part of emissions system.)
MN6 - Option code for factory 6-speed transimission.[Also same on LT1 cars, I think.]
CAGS - Computer Assisted Gear selection (the annoying skip-shift on MN6 cars.)[Also seen on LT1 cars.]

and so on
