I thought it would make sense to have a glossary of tuning terms and what they mean to help the newbies out so post up any additions to this as you see fit.
Add the term and a very short succinct definition.
Blowing an engine - adding forced induction either a supercharger or turbocharger (Known as supercharging in both cases.)
Turbo - Uses exhaust gases to compress the intake air allowing more fuel to be added.
Supercharger - Uses the crank on the engine to compress the intake air allowing more fuel to be added.
Balancing - Internal engine components are matched up to minimise the possibility of vibration whilst in motion allowing higher RPM to be achieved.
Reboring - Drilling out each cylinder to make it wider and increasing the capacity of the engine.
Cryo treating - Engines/Components are heated up and superchilled a few times to make them stronger and smoother.
Slamming - Lowering the cars ride height through suspension modifications.
