4-1 puts the power right at the top of the rev range and 4-2-1 gives you more mid to high rev range power.

4-2-1 gives more ground clearance as well.

Have you got an aftermarket inlet manifold?
Personally I would go 4 2 1 if you do to compensate the higher gains of an inlet however you may want a whack of power so a 4 1 maybe a better feeling for you

Don't understand the compression? U mean you've raised the compression ratio? I'd for a 4-1 personally, make the most out of the raised rev limit

Hmm personally I'd go with a 4-2-1 if you have an aftermarket inlet. Its going to be really flat lower down the revs otherwise as all the power is going to be from 5k onwards at least.

Plus even if your car is only slightly lowered your going to constantly scrape a 4-1 manifold off the floor as they hang very low down
