i tried several searches and did not come up with what i wanted to find. just want to know what all the "bolt-ons" are? i know 2 of them i won't do: anything with the MAF and a pulley. i'm trying to see what else i need besides LS-6 intake before i dig into doing internal work. for some reason also i know i'm going to be told nitrous, supercharger, turbo etc.

By your sig, it sounds like you pretty much have it covered.

There are a lot of bolt-ons. You want to know all the power producing botl-ons? Electric water pump, ported throttle body, "fernco mod", and a real CAI to replace the FRA are what I see missing. Why not pulley?

1. Lid
2. Cai
3. headers
4. Catback or duals
5. electric water pump
6. pulley
7 .LS6 or FAST intake
8. ported or 90mm TB
9. rockers
10. tuning

I think that's everything

Why not a pulley?

Any performance enhancer that goes on or in the car that doesnt go inside the engine is a bolt on, sub-frame connectors are a bolt on(or weld on lol).

Yes, there are lots of bolt-ons. Most people speak of the power producing bolt-ons. Suspension products can be had, as well as lightweight aftermarket replacements. (ie tubular K-member, etc etc)

Also, I was under the impression that rockers would not count as a bolt on. They can change the lift of a cam, they go inside the engine, and engine oil touches them. So based on just about anyone's criteria they would not be bolt ons.


Edit: just to clarify, rockers can't change the lift of the cam directly but rather the lift of the valves as they multiply the lift of the cam by a certain ratio.

rockers are not bolt-ons...if that were the case...then any type of head is a bolt-on...and a 427ci is a bolt on...haha..list goes on and on..

NSTY98LS1, you're going to love those LTs and Catted Y.

get a pulley...it should be good for a tenth. The other guys have it covered as far as bolt ons. Check my sig minus the internals. I can't think of anything else besides more suspension stuff.

i don't really want a pulley because i don't feel comfortable slowing everything down especially the alternator. as it is right now with the headlights on and my fans on the voltmeter drops well below 13v. as soon as i give it throttle it come right back up.
Q why do you say i'll love the headers and y-pipe? is it the performance gain or the sound. i have no idea what it will sound like for real. LS1 sounds give a rough idea of what things sound like but it's not quite like hearing it for real. is my car going to get a bit louder, stay about the same or what?
as far as bolt-ons go, my next will probably be LS-6 intake and i'll port my tb, but the intake won't happen til i get a 12 bolt as i've already had to put bearings in the rear and now the posi is fried. i did that on my best pass(in sig) and i was on my street tires. thanks for the responses so far!!

You'll love both the performance gains and the sound. At idle, it's got a great tone to it with a little chop that sounds awesome. At WOT, it screams but doesn't sound raspy. Inside the car, you can really hear the headers, so that takes a little getting used to, but the overall tone of the car has a lot more snarl to it when driving around town. I'm not sure how your car will sound with the Loudmouth; I'm sure it will be considerably louder than my car. Ought to sound mean though.

As far as performance, I picked up nearly 30 hp and 25 tq, and my curves look awesome. Torque curve is flat as hell. The headers / Y-pipe are my best mod so far, hands down.

Go w/ the headers and 3' ORY. I went with the Hooker Headers! ASP Pulley is an awesome bolt- on, my voltmeter doesn't go that low, I guess because I have Optima Red Top. Personally don't waste your $$$ on the intake, to expensive for the horsepower it puts out. Go with the Headers, you won't be sorry! Good Luck!

i've already got the header and Y-pipe. had to get catted for emissions reasons

As said above, you are missing a couple; but looking at your mod list, I would do some work to your rear-suspension. LCA's and a new Panhard Rod should be on that list and they are very cheap

i've thought of doing more to the rear suspension and have convinced myself not to, reason being the car hooks hard and doesn't wheelhop (well only after i tore the posi out it hops a bit) and i'm afraid if i go changing things around it's not gonna hook the way it does now. i'll probably just box my lca's when i do the 12 bolt and i'm gonna knock the front sway bar off and see what it does.
