Well, now this gets tough. And tricky.
Some of bangies quickest cars at drags are running complete intake, exhaust mods. Enlarged throttle bodies, wildest of ports one can imagine (maybe even tested abroad on a dyno, not sure), wildest cams running to 300+ degrees, lightened flywheels, upgraded retainers, valve springs, laser cut steel headgaskets, forged blocks with all internals forged that one can think off, completely lightened cars to running fibre doors, hood and dickey, wildest of carbs one can think off or befitting standalones (including a rumoured zen on autronic ECU), semi slicks. Though the latest additions seem to be two stage progressive nitrous kits. Also a set of cars are rumored not to be running on petrol itself
. Also at the last drag a certain 1600 zen with 100 shot nitrous was unofficially clocked at 12.7. They tried to hit 120 shot and blew the engine I hear in bombay. Was such a pity not to see this car in action though. Would have really set most of our foreign cars to shame.
While there is another sect which is running imported blocks with Indian heads which were sent abroad to get work done, dynoed and sent back to India. Particularly the honda's because of ease of availability.
Then there is another sect which is going all bonkers over Turboes, setting up cars left right and centre. Though from what I have seen only two cars seem to be reliable enough. A zen with a Vtec engine (dismantled and sold now) running 17psi boost (only problem was shredding driveshafts & traction) and psycho's esteem.
