There are (in the karting world) generally 4 levels of preparation.

Fiching - using the engine components as supplied with that engine but setting the engine within the fiche limits by only machining certain items if allowed. [A fiche usually calls up a wider set of dimensions than a blueprint so that all components, whether at max or min tolerance, can be used and allows a stack up of tolerances on a number of components to still be legal.]

Selected parts fiching - as above but also selecting the best component (from a number of components) on those components where machining is not allowed.

Blue printing - as pccsystems said, bringing each part to its optimum dimension as per the original design intent (ie the "blueprint")

Open-tuning - modifying certain components outside of the original design limits.
