i think you meant 4-1 when you said 4-2. anyways go with 4-1 if you are looking for the power band to be up there.

4-2-1=low end power 4-1=high end power. "better" is an impossible statement. it depends how you want to build your motor

i agree with buyimports2. the 4-2-1 is better for low to mid end power. I have the dc 4-2-1, and love them

I saw a back-to-back dyno of a dc 4-2-1 header and 1 dc 4-1 header. Both graphs were virtually the same. I say whatever you can get for a good price. A better question would be "what is the best header for my ________ application." When you are speaking in general terms like this it really is hard to give you a correct answer
