1979 Ferrari 308 factory performance upgrade car

i'm still investigating, it seams like Ferrari didn't mount any factory "Sprint package" also found the word "LeMans Package", Can it be 2 different packages?
it seams that it was the dealers that did the fitting of the packages, also the claim that it was black valve covers, that i believe is not true, the GTB seams to have black covers on early models(1975 with engine code BB?) and red covers on later models?, i have seen photos of one car that have documents that it is sprint pack installed, and that car have aluminium normal valve covers, or maby some was painted black and other not, customer maby wanted aluminium?, i get some info here and there.

Anyway, can be this shop that made the engine build on my car.

Don't know if that is good or bad?, but it seams like both marinello and dealer in modena used this shop for engine rebuilds tuning and other stuff, Know that the head chef of the mechanic(dont know the name in english) name was/is Gianni or Gianini
This mechanic worked on shop? in Modena and he told former seller of my car what was done with the engine, it was high comp pistons and race camshafts for one thing.
any bells ringing from someone, when the name Gianni or Gianini, and what kind of shop is this SportAuto in Modena? i will not stop until i know the story..=)

 

i Quote myself, think i found the shop and guy ho did my engine, his name is
Gianni Diena's "Autofficina Sport Auto", Modena
they made racecars and prototypes

also found this info, but can it really be this guys shop, seams unbelievable

i have taken this text.
Sport Auto is still there with the sons of Aldo Silingardi sen. and Gianni Diena sen. They came from Ferrari and worked from 1963-66 at Automobili Serenissima/Sasamotors (and Garage Camellini) in Via Malmusi (down town Modena just around the corner of Assitenza Clienti). After 1966 they formed Sport Auto and moved to the former premises of Carrozzeria Gransport in via Toscanini, where - among many other projects - the Cobra Daytonas' and the first two Serenissimas' bodies were made. 1974-80 they were commissioned by the factory to build several Ferrari 312P(B) from left over parts and restore F1 cars. And serious rumor goes that Gianni Diena was an illegitimate son of Enzo Ferrari. However, they were well connected to Ferrari and the works. About building chassis and P4 drawings I have no information.

 

But my cams seams to be something different then P6?, the car arrives in the end of this month, then i can take the valve covers of and be sure.

Today i found the Gmail address for this SportAuto company, so i have made a looong mail with all the info i have, talking to Gustaf Dieden for example.
i hope i get a answer.=)

 

Here is some better photos on the car, and the 16 wheels same as in brochure
and it also have the koni shocks, damn it, need to get documents on the engine....everything else check.
also photo from a reportage in Sportscar magazine 1985, they tested the car on the Track, and they called it LeMans edition and they claimed that 0-100 was 5 sec and 280km top speed, the magazine is in swedish but maby i translate the stuff that matters later, i also have another magazine with a reportage about the car.=)

The brochure is only for compare the brochure wheels with the wheels on my car,
i don't have that brochure.

Don't think spoiler or driving lights had anything to do with the "Sprint Pack", you probably could check a box what you wanted, thes add ons was strictly cosmetic for what i can read, because my car was intended and build for racing for Gustaf Dieden, he probably didn't want the extra weight with spoiler and driving lights fitted, or for some other reason?, im gonna talk to him about this.=)

Also my car had the kit mounted in Modena Italy(Not sure ho did it yet), But im excited today, because Michelotto Engineering answered me today and wanted to help me found out ho did my engine, all this companys like Michelotto, Dienna on Autosport and Ferrari had a close corporation on those days,
for what i have read on documents, Uk cars had the Spring Pack kit mounted by a Uk dealer named Maranello Concessionaires limited and not in Italy?

 

Today the 308 arrived, i have taking it for a spinn, when it is not warmed upp it was not easy to drive, but after warm upp, wow!!??, the engine spins so nice on idle, didn't expect that?, it spins like a honda engine and when you put your finger on the engine it is almost no vibrations, also when you drive you can have a high gear and with low rpm with no problems, everything is smoot, i have read about ppl telling that it was not easy to drive on low rpm so the first thing i was thinking, it cant be the P6 cams in this engine, im fooled!!, then i checked what numbers it was on cams, and this number is on the exhaust cam 107189 P6
i don't know why my experience is so different from some other ppl, maby engine is also ported or something, i did read from documents that they have had the engine to a Swedish weber specialist and they have changed jettings, recipe of nozzles and tuned the engine.
will make a driving movie and a movie when engine idle later, now i need to calm my nerves.

can this be one thing that make things different, in Sweden we only have quality 95E10 and 98E5 octan.

 

the cold idle.

 

Im Happy to, i was worried the first time i was gonna drive it, thinking this will be a nightmare, was going in to town, it is absolutely no problem cruising on 1500rpm, BUT, it doesent like to make hefty changes, with that said, if you take it easy like you do when you drive in town with moderat revs and easy on the throttle it is smooth like a normal car, but if you try to hit it from low revs, then you feel that the engine is made for high revs and you have low torque and it struggles like engines do with race camshaft, i have a Ultima GTR with a race engine with high lift flat tappet cam and this is a car that it is impossible to drive under 2000rpm, anyway the 308 have never stalled and the idle is always 800rpm,have as you can suspect tried this over and over again with a eagle eye on the revs, so the engine comes alive in about 2800rpm and pulls strong upp to about 4000rpm, then the next breath comes and it pulls very good indeed upp to 8000rpm,
i will try to make a youtube movie when i drive in town so you can see how it behaves.
will also take a camera and film inside engine and intake, to see pistons and if it is ported.

 

sitting in traffic seams to be the main difference you dont think it can be ignition timing in combination with jetting?, setting up webers on this kind of engine take time and lot of testing, welding in a 02-sensor in exhaust will make it easier, you also have the change in atmosphere changes and altitudes, that make it even harder, it should be so much easier to have modern injection, tune and you are done.=)
but it seams like the adjustment of my weber was a lucky one, sitting in traffic and start is no problem, i can even start in second gear and don't need to rev like crazy, it is very smooth, i now it sounds weird, and i exculty think it is weird, but that is how it is. i feel like i must make a video pretty soon, must buy this kind of fancy movie cameras, hard to hold a phone and drive smooth..=)
