Grose jets are very good provided you have decent fuel filter keeping dirt out of the carbs... otherwise they are useless.  Also Grose jets don't do all that well if the car sits for long periods.  I actually found the old style jets are a bit less finicky, but you do need to tap the carbs with a plastic mallot from time to time to keep them from overflowing.
