what would be considered full bolt ons can some one make a list with all the possible bolt ons u could buy!!

 

LID, bellows, maf, intake manifold, nitrous, cold air intake (ssra,slp flo pac), ud pulley, headers,y pipe, catback, or true duals, throttle body. I suppose you could count gears, stall for the a4 guys, and all the suspension goodies however they dont produce power they just aid in getting it to the ground. that should be a good start im sure there are some items i missed.

 

Check my sig and add an electric water pump.

 

Nitrous would be a "power adder", not a bolt-on.

LID
Ported MAF
Bellows
Ported TB
LS6 intake
Headers
High flow or no cats
Y-pipe and catback or true duals

That's the important stuff. I guess you could take the ported MAF out of that list because it's debatable whether or not it does anything. UD pulley, electric water pump, and ported maf are all borderline pieces. They may make a difference, they may not. But they certainly can't hurt.

 

This has been discussed in great detail before:

Lid, Bellow, MAF, Ported TB(or aftermarket), LS6 Intake maniflod(or aftermarket), CAI, LT's/y-pipe, Catback or duals, Electric Water Pump and UD pulley

 

well so is most every thing on all the lists. a lid adds power same with exhaust, etc. bolt ons to me is defined as not having to tear/ open up the motor itself to get power like a h/c setup, or also keeping the cost unde 1k for each mod unlike a super charger or turbo set up. whereas n20 can be bolted in safely for fairly cheap.

 

Nitrous is in the same category as a turbo or supercharger it is a power adder. Its not a bolton.

You've been here since 05 and still dont know that nitrous isnt a bolton

 

I personally dont consider it a power adder in the same catagorey as say a turbo or supercharger just because it is temporary power, you will run out eventually so relying on it for constant power is pointless.

 

wow.....


nitrous a bolt-on....ha

 

and i think he all so said nitruos is safe its the instant hit of 100-300++hp/tq that makes nitrous unsafe as oposed to a turbo witch smoothly gains power with boost. imagine getting punched hard(n2o) it hurts, but being graduly pushed(turbo) to the same force doesnt hurt as bad. in no way saying either is safe w/o built motor and proper tune.
actuly a ported maf in many cases i here of hurt more than help i think it thros off the air fuel or something.

 

about how much horsepower can you expect from a full bolton ls1?

 

That's how people are running 11's only bolt-ons: NITROUS!!

Hell, I might buy a 200 shot and go for the record lol!

 

first off bolt on is usauly considerd N/a only.. but and ways there a member on here "sux2bu" who ran 11.03 @121 in the 1/4 stock internal n/a thats stock cam/heads bolt-on only*

*his car also wieghed like 29xx lbs gutted and CUT TO HELL w/ th350 w/ 5200 stall and 4.11's spoolled 8.8in i belive

 

judging by your sig you should be making around 330 to the rear wheels, add an ls6 intake and gain a few more, add a decent sized stall and loose about 10hp.. but remember HP numbers arnt everything, your car will be much faster stalled then with the stock converter even though your numbers will be lower

 

I didnt know you loose rwph when you put a stall

 

What does it matter? I thought the whole point was to go faster. I'm probably close to 300 RWHP now, but I am more than capable of running 11's or trapping 114+. Oh yeah, and I'm STOCK INTERNAL, BOLT-ON'S ONLY.

Horsepower numbers should only be used for tuning. You can't race a dyno, but if you tried, it'd probably make for a good youtube video.

 

Bolt-ons on this site are so debateable. I have seen people with forged 347s say they have bolt-ons, while others just have lids.

 

tires also, spark plugs, RRs (even though they touch oil), tornado, etc.

 

Uh oh... this topic will go all over the place... I guess if you want to be truly literal... bolt on would include heads, headers, cam, all that good stuff. Me myself consider bolton's to be the cheap stuff that'll help make a little power... U/D pulley, lid, catback, those sorts of things.
