Should be:
LPE = Lingenfelter Performance Engineering

Just sayin' Scott...

I missed that detail. Most others simply cut and paste the list and make corrections themselves such as what Paul did already.
Thanks Paul.

As for the discussion on "CRAP" I have to agree.
However, I learned at a very young age acronyms, no matter how much I dislike them, are a part of life. If you can't stop them then it's best to define them somewhere. It's like any job. It's not done until the paper work is done. You must "WIPE" no matter how much you dislike it. WIPE = We Ignore Poor English

Great thread scott and yes a backup complete list of acronyms is always helpful for those like myself learning some of the short hand tricks.

Maybe the "Common Forum Acronyms" needs to the a "solution" or better yet in the FAQ section.
I feel for anyone new joining this forum.
You could
FWIW the SES or LTPWS
for the
ZR-1 of MY
for the
OP in the FSM and
BS about the
INFL REST instead.
OMG I have
CRAP on the brain.
