souped
Made more powerful
Souped is the past tense and participle of soup, meaning to increase power or performance—almost always in the phrase souped up or souped-up: a souped-up engine, a souped-up computer.
The modification typically involves boosting speed, capacity, or capability beyond factory specifications.
The word likely derives from supercharged.
