4-2-1 will generally give more torque mid range where as a 4-1 will give more top end power

some people say that a 4-2-1 will flow as well as a 4-1 until about 8000rpm though, have a look at what other people have done with that engines and the gains theyve made

the effects on a modern car though are minimal as the engines are far more presise
