Itb's vs josh cooks 172 cup engine set up

[ventura]

Hi guys

I am currently running a phase 1 with itbs and cams and it's okay in the top end revs but low down with such little torque it's hard work out of the slow stuff. Being the the phase one there is not much clearance from the bonnet for longer trumpets.

Last year on the brands hatch Renault sport day josh cook was there with his clio 172 cup. Yes I know it was josh cook and the boy can drive but with regard to the set up he had, do you think it would be a better torquier car. It looked like the clio cup set up from the race cars. Anyone have any ideas if this would be better as might look down this route instead?

Also as you can tell I'm not very technical!!!

cheers

I don't understand what you're asking buddy.

I think he's asking what setup has Josh's 172 got and should he go that way to make his ph1 go quicker

 

[ventura]

Yeah mate. Anybody got any pics of his engine bay?

If you're serious then why not phone Josh and ask him?

Josh's was a standard 172 cup on AST's.

Ring him up and ask for tuition, it will cut your lap times more than power will
