[Pontifan]

is it possible to make a sticky list of all the accronyms used by the 3800 crowd. IE FWI,CAI,TOGS,PEMS IC,MPS ETC ETC ETC. it took me a week of looking just to figure out what this stuff meant

PEMS = ported exhaust manifolds
IC = intercooler
MPS = modular pulley system
ETC = et cetera

PCM = powertrain control module (engine/tranny computer)
