I would consider a full bolt on ls1 to be: for a 98-00 car LT's, Catback, LID, Ls6 Intake for an 01-02 car all the same but minus the intake.

i consider full bolt on H/C/I, lid, bigger, TB, headers, mid pip, catback, DR/Slicks skinny's, and suspension.
How the hell is a HCI swap considered a bolt on, thats retarded
Well I guess my nitrous system is a bolt on then
I can see where the problem'd be in thinking about it like that, but an H/C/I swap doesn't force anything into the engine. A juice kit does. So it might not "exactly" be a bolt on, but it's not F/I either.

well...everything technically bolts on to the motor right, hell it's harder to change spark plugs on some cars that it is to take the heads off....so its all how you look at it.
b/c i mean really how much work is really involved in pulling the heads off, not much rebuilding is a differnt story, putting back on again not much.
i guess a cam owouldnt be my mistake....internal is non bolt on, anything outside is ............or you could go with an intake exhaust and things that bolt to piece of the motor

In the LSx world heads and cam are definatly NOT considered bolt ons. Bolt ons for them is Lid MAF Intake roller rockers undrive pulley headers y-pipe cat back cut out gears tune converter suspension Smart guys will also delete the AC and run a short belt to bypass the power steering (good for at least 1-2 tenths) For referance I have a buddy with a full weight 01 Z/28, he has a Yank 4000 SS converter, 3.42 gears, headers, tune and drag radials. The car runs 12.3-12.5 pretty regularly. Like I have said many times on this subject, many LSx cars do not perform as well as what they should because the owners are dumb. The add mods that do nothing or env hurt performance and then think they are flying. The mods that I do to mine and that my friends do are tried and true, proven combinations, that's why our cars run better than average.

I dont think Heads and Cams Fall ANYWHERE near Bolt-ons. So do u consider all the beastly N/A Guys on the forums that they are Full bolt-on's......
