Default What does "Full Bolt on" really mean....

I hear this all the time," it's just a bolt on C5" or "Full Bolt on C5..." Does bolt on mean heads and cam or not? I mean really.... You bolt everything on anyway....

While I'm at it, what the crap does "ttt" really mean anyway? I know it means to the top but .....To the top of the forum? What's the function of that?

ttt means To The Top (i.e. raise the thread to the top of the page).

As far as the other question...who knows. I think it always depends on whos saying it

When people do the "ttt" they just want the thread to go back up to the top of the forum page so more people can see it.

Now as far has your bolt on question. People think that if you don't go inside your engine to change anything then everything else is just bolted on the stock engine. Cams and Head are'nt bolt ons....in the opinion of the forum. But If I'm wrong someone will chime in.

ok that makes more sense. Thanks guys! So then "ttt" could actually be a rude thing if someone over used it..... I never have, but in the future if someones ligitimate thread goes by without a response then I'll "ttt" it all the way! ugh... So much to learn.

Bolt on car is everything but altered/changed heads and cam. For example, headers, intake, exhaust, torque converter, clutch, and rear can all be changed.
