What is the term used for gunning a engine?

The term used for gunning an engine is "revving". Revving is the act of increasing the speed of an engine by pressing the accelerator pedal. The term is derived from the sound that is produced by an engine when it is revved, which is a loud, high-pitched noise. Revving an engine can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to increase the power output, to improve acceleration, or to create a loud noise.
