Lid (or FIPK), ported throttle body, underdrive pulley, headers, ypipe, catback exhaust, electric waterpump, maybe gears and stall/clutch.

When you cant do anything more to your car shy of opening up the motor.

Some people also classify nitrous, superchargers, and turbochargers as bolt ons. I call them power adders though, but that is just me

i consider the bolt ons anything that you "bolt on" to the car not including appareance mods of course, without opening up the motor itself. Which would mean that gears, rear ends, drive shafts, better tires, suspension mods etc etc...anything that iwll help the car launch, go faster, stick to the ground better, and help the car ultilize the power it makes most efficiently. thats my take on "all the bolt ons"...

'what do you got done to your car'

'ohh just some bolt ons'

Some people do have "every bolt on." Theres a lot of them, and I belive they are through of literally bolt on parts, while not opening up the motor, and keeping it N/A.

Some bolt ons would be:
-Lid
-MAF
-Ram Air
-Ported TB
-Bellow
-Ported MAF housing
-LS6, LSX, Holley intake
-Headers
-Underdrive pulley
-Electric waterpump
-160/180 Thermo
-Y-pipe
-Cutout
-Catback
-Spark plug wires
-Air filter

All of these together can make for a fairly quick car. I am probably missing a bunch also.

No it's not just you, they ARE power adders and they are NOT mere bolt ons.

Then your a bad driver....

Stock LS1's can go faster than 13.5 Maybe you need a shifter and sticky tires.
