Bolt Ons: What to expect to spend?
Bolt Ons: What to expect to spend? If I am taking a completely bone stock ls1 based f body with the intention of having it run 11's stock internally, n/a, what can I expect to pay?
Well, you can spend anywhere between 350-950 for a catback/or TD setup.
You can spend from 350-1500 for some long tube headers.
150 for lid and filter. (just a guess, dont know what lids are going for these days)
1200 for 90/90 setup
M6 or A4. If A4 upgrade stall.
2300 ish for a new rear-end
Then some sticky tires and weight reduction.
Thats just things that are not internal engine. But can get pricey.
I know that there are 11 sec cars that didnt spend near that.
you can spray and call it a day.
Just my .02

If 11's are you're only goal and you have a A4 then a STALL is a must (3600+) add some sticky tyres (MT DR's 255/50R16).
The stock 10 bolt will probably be ok for a bit as long as you don't beat on it too hard (burn outs/do-nuts and wheel hop).
Then start too look at power such as LT's and exhaust, lid maybe a pulley, ported TB. 11's should be easy but it will mostly be down to the 60'.

To run in the 11's, bolt on only, you will also have to reduce as much weight as you can live with and focus on your suspension. Dump the front sway bar, relocation brackets and new lower control arms, aftermarket torque arm, etc. to make sure you get your 60' times in the 1.5x range. That with full bolt ons and good air will get you very close to the 11 second time slip you are looking for. Also, you will likely have to play with your shift points, timing and fuel to get there. A good programer should be at the top of your shopping list. Good luck.
possible at all?

full boltons. if a pre 01 car get ls6 intake and 28lb injectors, a big stall and some ET streets. and if that dont get you there spray it.
One of my friends has a 02ss with slp loudmouth,ported TB and lid, stall and ET streets and rusn 12.3s consistantly. Im sure with headers, ory,udp,and ewp you could get damn close to high 11s
Oh and P.S. spend some serious cheese on suspension of course.
nad of course if you cam it or spray it youll be 11s pretty easy.

I know someone who went 11.63@117mph with only exhaust/lid, 3.42's (auto), stall sticky tyres different rockers (only internal part) and a few suspension mods but nothing too wild. UNTUNED.
I think they also used some ballast in the boot/trunk (a few bags of sand) to promote a bit more off the line traction.
