welcome fellow Canadian good luck and have fun

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
Boger help me out with some definitions:
what is FWI, U-bend, downpipe and PCM. Sorry to sound like such a novice but the last several years as a banker have not exactly equiped me to twist wrenches right out of the gate! Last time I got grease under my nails, tweaking your engine meant adding duel exhaust or swapping out a two barrel carb for a quad!
Thanks for your help!

FWI = Fender well intake/cold air intake, u-bend delete = http://www.pfyc.com/mm5/graphics/new/wb5001.jpg , Donwpipe is the constrictive piping from the headers to the catalytic converter, and the PCM is the Powertrain Control Module(ie. your cars compter/brain). Most people either send in their pcm to be reprogrammed or buy a already reprogrammed pcm.
