I believe the 4-2-1 is for low end and the 4-1 is for high end. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG][hr]

Rep Power: 0 no, but seriously- the 4-2-1 will provide more low and mid-range power than the 4-1 will. However, the 4-1 will provide more peak horsepower. Of course, if it's not practical, useable power for everyday driving, who needs it. Remember, area under the curve is what you REALLY want to increase.

Rep Power: 0 Yes, it's the area under the curve that's important.
Max HP is usually developed at high rpm, while torque is at more moderate rpm. The point at where the curves cross is also of great importance.
