[QUOTE="shurur, post: 16719906, member: 113850"] You will pick up the lingo and automotive acronyms as you go. Google each thing as you see them. Power adders, SC (supercharged), boosted, FI (forced induction), Turbo, TT (twin turboed) are all ways of putting pressurized air into the intake and giving the engine boost torque-wise and HP-wise. It is the antithesis of NA (naturally aspirated) That's why a boosted car can do with a 3:73 or 3:55, because it has the torque, depth, omph or dig to dig itself out and take advantage of that gear from a standing start. The confusion starts when folks start using taller and shorter, higher and lower gears, because it seems to be different and the opposite in meaning to different folks....but "more gear" generally means going to a higher ratio (and needing less torque to get the car rolling) in the rear gear. As far as PO goes, it depends on the context. I would guess it might mean previous owner is some cases. [/QUOTE]
