Full suspension, full exhaust, UDP, EWP (or other coolant system), brakes, Trans, clutch, rear end, lid, intake ducting, MAF, TB, Intake...

Anything that is not the engine internals; Crank and main brearings, rod bolts, oil pump, timing chain, cam, heads, pushrods, lifters, rockers, valve springs, pistons, rods, and rings. Tune is almost neither. It's just a tune.

To me full bolt ons are installing everything that makes the car faster without having to remove the valve covers, oil pan, or timing cover.

My list for full bolt ons are:
Full exhaust
Lid and Ram Air
Throttle Body
Intake manifold
Underdrive pulley
Clutch/Stall
Rear end gears
WEIGHT REDUCTION
Wheels and tires
EWP (IMO not worth the money but it counts)
Suspension
TUNE

I put tune and weight reduction in bold because those are two that are really over looked and they can both make a huge difference.

^ Weight reduction DOES make a HUGE difference, but after about four years of too much noise in the cab of a Street car, it gets annoying and you start to figure that you shouldn't have taken that much out.. (Not a DD, but not a dedicated track car.) Makes the car unpleasant to drive for anymore than about an hour, but then again my springs and shocks are teh suck.

Look though my FQuick page for an idea of a full bolt on car.. I'm just missing about 2 or three things.

I'd have to say most people would consider full bolt ons a lid,TB(ported or aftermarket), intake(on 98-00cars), headers and full exhaust upgrade, Gears, UDP. That's covering most Bolton performance adders(power adders).

^ I would.. it's "bolt on" HP (in a bottle) .. Bolt the bottle down.. Bolt the noids in.. Some wiring and plumb the lines and bingo; 150 extra HP without going into the engine.

I do have a Mail-order Tune by Frost!! Headers killed the stock.

But the Weight Reduction will not happen. It is not a track car at all and it is my wife's.
She "inherited" it from her dad and likes to drive it. I can do anything I want as long as she likes the inside and can jump in and drive.

So next for me is Cam, UDP and get the TB ported while its apart. That will give me most of the Bolt-ons and a little inside.

Port the tb yourself its easy and is not worth paying to have it done,I can't believe when I hear people pay close to 200 dollars for that,
