suped-up

Modified for power

Suped-up is an alternate spelling of souped-up, meaning modified for greater power or performance.

The spelling reflects a common pronunciation and folk etymology connecting it to "super," though the original term likely came from "soup" as slang for fuel additives or nitroglycerine.
