I could be wrong but i'm sure it was said by reputable tuner once that over 500 a 4x4 becomes restrictive.

Over 400 odd I believe, but intake manifold has same problem @ 400 elbow restriction.
Apparently better response on 4x4 Manifold (due to it shorter length) but I am told by a tuner drag chap that this is not nes true .
