+1 you'll also want to throw on an exhaust, throttle body, maybe a maf, fuel pump, etc. to compliment the heads/cam.

Exhaust, headers, mid pipe, and cat-back, plus you get the nice sound of a 5.0

wouldn't consider heads and cam a "bolton" but by all means DO THEM!

my next stang im gonna go this route

Explorer Upper/lower untake possibly ported
65mm TB
MAC LTs
MAC Prochamber
Spintech Dumps
Electric Fan
Electric Water pump
A/C delete.
Smog Delete
Aluminum pulleys
130 amp alternator
aluminum d/s
fender mount CAI

with a good driver mod and sticky tire i should hit low 14s with this combo. maybe even high 13s but unlikely

but thats my idea of a "bolton" car

The boltons I felt the biggest diff was the intake and full exhaust, BBK Shorties, O/R H, Delta 40's. Then I had all the others, pullies, CAI, MSD ect... those are all or nothing. The 3.73's made a huge diff too

honestly bolt ons are cool and easy and all,but wont get you very far,

but since you asked for bolt ons...
get full exhaust
k/n filter
bigger maf
****... i cant even come up with any

honestly i suggest a power adder(nitrous, turbo, s/c) or h/c/i

how fast do you wanna go?

I went tru all the bolt ons on a stock engine most are a waste of money, if you dont open it up with a good intake, set of heads, a good cam, and a exaust system.
