4-1 headers you will lose some bottom end, but gain more high end power. 4-2-1 gives you more mid range - high range power(not as much high end as the 4-1), without losing too much bottom end power. Just depends where you like the power to be.

4-2-1 if you have a D series, no need to build top end when D series motors have no top end.

Thanks for your comments. It seems to me now that 4-2-1 will be the best choice...
anyway, does it mean that there will be different max speed or just the way you reach max speed will be different?

Your max speed will not change at all.
Is it on a D or B series?

Here's another good one for this thread. What header would some one recommend for the Dohc Zc, considering it's more so a mid-top end motor cause it's a twin cam.

Ive heard alot of people say it's more faster, or torquey anyways in mid to top end, so i was thinkin maybe a 4-1 header would be better?.
