i was satisfied. then like any other drug i grew a tolerance to it. and like a crack head the high will makes me spend money that seems insane to a normal person but to me seems 100% reasonable simply because i have it. all it takes now is a lifter ticking and i'm ready to drop another $1500 for a longblock. my trans isn't acting up but i AM about to drop the last $2g's i need for it because it has 110k on it and i need it before i break it. that's how i justify it. i need help... bad

i would really like to change a few things and go turbo next year, but i dont know how long that would satisy me either. Maybe i should just quit now, instead of spending a bunch of time/money on something that im not gonna be satisfied with long term

Can someone tell me WTF "BOLTED" means?
I thought, by the title, that it meant "bolt-ON", but OP has cam, nitrous, etc... which really stretches the term "bolt-ON", so I can only assume that BOLTED means something different...
or I am just getting OLD...because way back when us old dudes considered bolt-ONs to be anything that bolted to the exterior of the engine, but actual engine itself was still stock internally and un-touched. In other words, no camswap, no bigger ratio rocker arms, no changes inside.
