Full Bolt Ons 2002 Trans Am WS.6 A4
Ok just about got full bolt ons! I need a converter, shift kit, underdrive pulley, and maybe gears.
I currently have done: lid, high performance air filter, smooth bellows, MTI throttle body, throttle body bypass, took out ram air baffles and went with BGRA, LS6 intake manifold, Kooks Headers, True Duals with X-pipe (cats off).
I just want to run all bolt ons, no cam/heads or boost! Anything else I can do?
I'm waiting to get a tune after I do converter and pulley...

skip the shift kit... waste of money in my opinion... just harder on the tranny
I'm at the exact same point you are. I have a 6 spd tho, so I'm only thinking about pulley and gears. After I have my car dyno'd I'll see how my air/fuel is and decide if I want to get a MAF. What do you run????

I like just doing bolt ons and beating people, kind of that underdog fealing!!! You guys know what I mean
cam and heads are technically "bolt ons", u bolt them on. so a blower can be a bolt on too LOL.
get that stall, it will wake that car up. i need one too after driving around with matt in his ss and 3600 stall today, it was awesome.

Bolt ons do not include any power adders, or anything that touches oil.
No heads, cam, rockers, nitrous, blowers, etc etc.
A "bolt-on" is not something that is simply attached to the car with bolts. If that were true a cat-back wouldn't be a bolt-on as you never touch a single bolt when swapping a cat-back. Seriously guys.

I'm still tryin' to figure out why you did a ls6 intake, when it's an '02. It already has one.

Yeah, get that converter, some 3.73s, subframe connectors, and put your car on a diet. Start with the front end... you can take out/delete the AIR system, put in a tubular K-member & A-arms, and any other system you can live without(maybe A/C???). Losing weight is just like adding power, plus you may get better gas mileage since you ain't pushing as heavy a load as before. Good luck, dude. Keep us posted.
