"fully blown", means a job well done, or a catastrophic result. We did 41C's in the 80's and we called them "hotted up". All sounds too familiar to the hot rod fraternity. :-)

"A job well done" or "a catastrophic result"?

I get it. When speaking of explosive ordinance, failure to produce a catastrophic result would be considered a failure (a job not well done).

I would like to think of my HP-41CLs as being "souped up".
