Default consider this

If your car has heads and a cam, allthe supporting equiptment (exhust,tb,convertor...etc), would it be considered wrong to tell a ricer that you only have "bolt-ons", because in reality everything really does just bolt on!!!!

you can also "bolt on" a turbo, s/c, and n2o but those arent bolt ons .

FWIW a ricer is probably dumb to understand what heads and cam are anyway so why not just say you have it.

"bolt on" typically means external modifications that you bolt onto the engine. Mostly headers, pulley, intake setups. Nothing internal, and nothing with blowers/turbos. If you told a ricer you had bolt-ons and he heard your cam loping, YOU would be the ricer that apparently didn't know what you were talking about. haha.

Just tell the ricers that you only changed 1 cam. Most of them have 2 or 4 cams so they think that is better.
