Default Acronym thread

Ok so sometimes we use acronym for things and not all people may know what they mean so here are some common ones if I miss anything please feel free to add it

FTW, FTMFW- For the win
FTL, FTMFL- for the loss
UDP- underdrive pulley
TB- throttle body
CAI- cold air intake
RAI- Ram air intake
SFC- sub frame connectors
WOT = wide open throttle
FRPP = ford racing performance parts
H/C/I = Heads/cam/intake
N/V/H = noise/vibration/harshness
DR's = Drag radials

I sure there are more but right now I can't think of any
