A bolt-on part is any mod that does not touch oil, but still keeps you N/A. You are right, intake/exhaust mods did not knock 1.3-1.5 seconds off my time. Here's what my car had when I ran the 12.088.....deep breath lol
BG ram air mod, lid, K&N filter, SLP smooth bellows, SLP maf, ported TB, LS6 intake, Meziere(sp) EWP, 160 stat, ASP underdrive pulley, SLP L/T headers, offroad y-pipe, cut-out, flowmaster catback, SLP Zexel 3.73 gears, tb bypass, dyno tune.
Weight reduction: passenger/rear seats/floor mats/rear hatch divider/jack/spare/front sway bar removed, BMR k-member, BMR upper/lower a-arms, weld draglite skinnies and rears on Hoosier QTPs. I also didn't have the AC condensor on the car because it was cracked upon install of the k-member so it was off on that run, but is on the car now. EDIT: also had A.I.R. and EGR removed.
suspension: BMR stuff listed above, BMR torque arm, BMR tubular subframes, SLP boxed LCAs
I did manage to get the 241 heads from the factory instead of the 853s so that did help. I have no doubt in my mind that I would have been in the 12.8 range with an aftermarket convertor. Don't get me wrong though, getting my car down that far was not easy. My race weight was 3450. I hope this helps
