Nitrous is a bolt-on mod..... (I'm not talking about sacntioned drag racing classes)
If you BUILD your motor for nitrous, that is obviously different because you are BUILDING your motor....
You have a turbo, you BOLT-ON a bigger turbo, and you gain efficiency? How is that not "bolt-on"?
Either way, a 4g63 Evo wouldn't even need to get off the stock turbo to beat a S65 M3 with some "bolt-on" parts.

Yes. If someone swapped in used Ford 5.0 motor to an old Mustang and added headers/intake, I would expect to hear, "Yeah I swapped in a new Ford 5.0 motor with minor bolt-ons".
If you hear the words "crate motor" then you normally wouldn't be asking if it had "bolt-ons", you would just ask about the build.

I understand if you classify it differently. I would definitely consider Nitrous as a power adder. It depends on who you are talking to and whether we are talking Drag Strip rules or just common talk. I know an Evo guy here that changes turbos like once a month on a quest to find the most power on stock block e85. He considers it a "bolt-on" upgrade.
It's no big deal really. Evo's are awesome, M3's are awesome, I think we can both agree on that.

Where I live bolt ons means, intakes/headers/exhausts/throttle boddies/intake manifolds, things of that nature. If you have cams, you says bolt ons and cam, if you have a ported/upgraded blower/turbo, you state it. Nitrous, you state it. Very simple.

Exactly. Some guys here are a bit sneakier though. The modded blower/turbo normally isn't mentioned when it appears stock. Some guys are running meth and call it a "pump gas tune". Sometimes you have to "dig in". Lol just to be careful when someone is so willing to throw money on a race.

I ran a "Goat" (GTO) once that said he just had a bolt-on supercharger. It sounded pretty damn mean, but I've heard really loud NA v8's before that got spanked by my Z. I've even raced a Red "11 second" manual NA GTO and it wasn't a problem. So I said sure, and we agreed on a 60mph roll. He was on drag radials too. (I should have known)
Anyway, we would start at the top of 2nd, I would spool and spin into 3rd, he would just hook and jump like 3-4 cars. From then on I was just following him to about 150mph.
Then later he admited to having modified the bottom end, doing cams (which I noticed anyway), built transmission and about twice the boost I expected him to throw through that motor. It was some really skinny black guy too, I had no idea he actually had that thing setup nice. Low 10 second car for sure.
