    I am looking for any advice on jetting for my uk spec 1977 308gt4. I have read most of the posts on the forum and would like some help on what would the best be. I have a K&N filter with modified airbox and sports exhaust run platinum plugs etc. Just had a top end rebuilt and now its time for the dyno.
    Most 308's on this site seem to say .60 idle, 140 main,200 air correction. is this US spec.anybody got any better ideas. Sorry I don't have the stock settings to hand they are in the car at the garage. Help would be appreciated.
    Thanks Gav.

    This subject has been covered comprehensively in the archives of the new and the old site. If you are running the stock cams, stay with the stock jetting on your GT4.

    My guess is you should run 55/135/f36/220, but please check.

    The emissions stuff hadn't really impacted euro cars back then and if Enzo thought he could get more juice from a 140 main, he'd have put them in. Just put the stock jets in and drive it hard!

    Thanks Guy's will try these out.Did try to search the old site it wouldn't work.
    The car's been off the road for nearly a year. Used a 911 carrera to help me get my fix it didn't work so sold it' however the motorbike does give me the thrill but its a bit more dangerous still not a Ferrari So I will give it a bit when its finished
    Thank
    Gav

    I have played with a similar combination of 60/140/210 and found that it was too rich and made my car (US 308 GT4 with no emissions and Borla exhaust) quite sluggish. I have since gone back to the stock sizes (55/135/220).
