Question Q about acronym

ok, I saw a lot of acronym in this board, especially in the "engine mod" thread, I know some like TC=turbocharged, SC=supercharged, but there's a lot of others I don't know, like N/A which I know is not "Not Applicable" in this case , I also saw "NOC" iirc but I don't know what it means?

N/A naturally aspirated or normally aspirated
a car that doesn't used forced induction ie a turbo, sc, or NOS


NOC...I think you mean NOS..Nitrous oxide
A liquid that is jetted into the air fuel mixture raising the oxygen level producing more power. Can be deadly to the engine if abused or used inapropriately.

Your ECU is your car's computer. Can't say I know what it stands for though.
