If you have questions let me know. This set up can be duplicated EASILY.
And the car would run 12.0s with the interior in it easy, i bet it would get into the 11.9s with the interior.

Just to Break in and be a smart *** if you wanna get technical an entire motor rebuild is a bolt on, it goes together using bolts right. The heads BOLT ON to the block, the Crank is BOLTED ON to the motor using main caps the 12 bolt BOLTS ON to the bottom of the car, basically bolt on is kind of a bs term to use, as is another teenager about my age claiming his tornado air intaked, cat back camaro running 12 anything with an LT1. I hear everyday from a kid i work with that his integra could beat me with nitrous, and that may be albeit not by much but i just laugh cause his motor is almost maxed out while mine is bone stock. LT1's will go as fast as your wallet allows

Lots of suspension,tal gears,HUGE STALL or super strong clutch,weight reduction and every single bolt on available.

actually, the crank is not bolted on, it is bolted in via caps. Like the cam is bolted in.

To me "Bolt-on" should not be taken in the literal sense. When I think of a bolt-on upgrade, I think of something that doesn't require opening up the engine, trans or rearend. Exhaust system, CAI, throttle body, even a torque converter... these are things I consider bolt-on. Once you start having to open up the motor, ie Cam, rocker arms, heads, etc... that is going beyond bolt-on. You can get nit-picky all you want, some people just need something to bitch about. IMO, It should be used as nothing more than a simple term used to refer to a car with basic performance upgrades.

Also, a blower really fits the def of bolt on in the sense that it is external to everything else.
The entire suspension is bolt-on.
Still, the general consensus is that bolt-ons are just CAI, exhaust, blaster coil??? Where to draw the line? That is the question. Maybe it's just a bad term altogether, much too vague to be useful in an arguement.

omfg dude stop bein a smartass u kno what a bolt on is.....shut the hell up....i dont believe this guys origional story....but i do believe with full bolt ons. ie headers CAI slicks stall cutout etc. with prolly major weight reductions with the perfect conditions and perfect pass...it is possible....but extremley unlikely
