What are " All Bolt ons " ?? I have an Moroso CAI, 52MM Holley and SLP Loudmouth with Hooker Tips.
Like the Title says, what am I missing?
Are headers bolt ons?
a 52 MM throttle body bolts on, does that count?

Technically, almost every part of a car is attached via clips or bolts, but bolt on usually applies to;
natural* induction improvements (up to intake manifold, sometimes including)
exhaust (yes, starting with headers)
suspension (can also include chassis stuff like SFCs)
engine accessories (like the aforementioned UD pulley)
*Unless engine in question had an OEM forced induction device, then this definition would encompass upgrading something like a pulley.

"bolt-ons" are defined herein as anything that can be bolted to the motor leaving the shortblock, heads, and cam(s) untouched. So an intake is considered as a bolt-on. Ofcourse, bolting a blower or nitrous is "bolting" something on but your are changing the classification of the motor from N/A to FI. So the mass majority doesn't consider a power adder a bolt-on. -Mark

Blowers and turbos get knocked out by the "if they touch oil" rule.
