new muffler bearings and a topping off of the blinker fluid can get you in the 12's I heard.

I don't consider nitrous a normal, simple bolt-on. Bolt-ons stay in the normally-aspirated category. Nitrous is the second category then Forced Induction is the third.

I wouldn't consider cams a "normal bolt on", considering the amount of work thats involved in installing them.

+1

If nitrous is counted as secondary, so should cams.

He probably worded it a little wrong. The amount of work that's involved in installing them has nothing to do with considering them a bolt on or not. That means you should count headers as secondary too right?

It's considered a bolt-on as long as it keeps the engine NA (no nitrous, turbochargers, and superchargers).

+1 and thanks for the clarification. "Bolt-on" is a categorization, not a measure of level of difficulty.
