Default What does "Full bolt-ons" consists of?

Every so often I find people describing someone's set up as full bolt-ons, etc...
This is my list of everything I would imagine would consist of full bolt-ons but I'm sure I'm missing something.

- Cat-back exhaust
- headers
- Heads
- Cam
- Intake
- CAI
- E-fans
- Pulley's
- Tune
- Rear end and Gears

What am I missing?

The list is good, but I don't consider heads, cams, gears, and intake manifolds as bolt ons. Basically anything that doesn't require draining fluids and exposing the internal passages of a drive line component I'd consider a bolt on.

I'm no expert, but I would agree with this assesment.

So an engine swap is not a bolt on? What about a Radix?

Drop:
-heads
-cam
-intake manifold
-gears
-torque converter(in another post)

Add:
-electric water pump
-throttle body spacer
-fuel rails + injectors
-throttle body (larger or P&P)
-thermostat
-exhaust
-Tornado

Then that's what are "traditionally" referred to as bolt-ons.
