Injectors, throttle body, fuel pressure regulator, rockers actually aren't considered internals, cold air intake.

I was going to add turbo/super charger, but even I don't know if that crosses the line or not. NOS as well. They're both bolt ons in all respects of the definition.

Headers should be your next mod. The stock exhaust manifolds are a choke point

Turbo, Charger AND NOS? You'd be making ungodly amounts of power and would need an aftermarket computer

There's already a thread going on right now asking how much power you get with full bolt-ons.

full bolt ons are any mods that do not come in contact with engine oil (except rockers)

nitrous or forced induction are def not bolt ons!

NOS doesn't come in contact with engine oil, it also can bolt on. Or rather, between, the intake and TB. Can even screw in if you want to do it cheaply and put it in your intake elbow.. If you run an external system, nor would a *charger come in contact with the engine's oil. So, that definition is quite flawed.

I call superchargers and turbos forced induction. But technically i guess they are a bolt on. So i guess a bolton lt1 could make 500 rwhp.

A built 4l60e gets my vote b/c you still get overdrive. A manual valve body means you got to shift manually to the next gear.
