I hope not. AO and JSB are very specific to ONLY the C6.
A few more not on this list:
CAGS computer assisted gear selection - forces 1st to 4th shift on MN6
ECM engine control module, the computer controlling your engine
IAT inlet air temperature
MAF mass air flow, the MAF sensor tells the ECM how much air is coming into your engine
You get the idea.

NPP is not an abbreviation, it's an option code for the new exhaust system offered for the '08s. Much like the option code R8C used for the National Corvette Museum (NCM) delivery.
Some of these things you just have to learn by asking and by hanging around here for a while.
