The title should be changed to the Anal thread:roll:

Yep. There's only so much in life that you can control. Until you figure that out, you'll be annoyed.

Not for a Mopar but when I worked for an import parts store,people would come in looking for parts for their Nissan Maximum.

You guys would be totally confused if you's were here.....we call things different names here.
A Hood is a Bonnet here.....and a Deck Lid or Trunk is a Boot here.
As for 3/4 Race Cam....it's a general term, usually meaning the cam timing, usually a 35/75 cam.
Middle of the road is a 30/70.....mild is a 25/65.....Race is 40/80 and bigger.
The aussie E49 spec Charger had the cam timing of.....
40-88 inlet
80-48 exhaust
so the inlet was 308* duration for a factory spec cam.

Bonnet is a british thing. Just like boot is the trunk.
