Cams are bolt ons

As is the non stock Maggie Supercharger.

As is the aftermarket port injection system.

By all intent and purpose a Tuned & Bolt-On car is a modified car and not considered stock by MOST of the automotive world.

Otherwise we'd still retain our warranties.

Not trying to argue for the sake of argument, but people splitting hairs is just nonsensical to me. I often joke with the phrase, "Statements are black and white, and gray when they suit themselves." It means the only time the argument becomes a gray area is when someone changes the narrative to fit their definition. But logic is much more simple than that. 1 or 0, On or Off, Yes, or No, Black or White. There is no gray area in logical thinking.
If you’re gonna die on this hill then at least know that people do not consider a cam as a “bolt on”. If it goes inside the motor in general it is not considered a bolt on.

I used to feel the same way as you about what “stock meant”. After being on these boards and other groups for awhile I have learned what King and megahurts are saying tends to be the norm. That being said personally if I was Brett I would have said SBE instead of what he said. Not that what he said is wrong but if he stated sbe I doubt anyone would have argued with him (actually they probably still would since apparently he made more power than usual).
