Default DC 4-2-1 or 4-1 for a B20b motor

i alreaddy know that a 4-1 gives you better top end performance and a 4-2-1 gives you better low end torque. My question is which should i get for a b20 NON-vtec? DC states on the site that a 4-1 makes a different above 4k rpm (i hit redline like 2 sec after that), is that worth it for a b20b that doesn't rev that high? or would a 4-2-1 be better since even during normal driving u'll still get the benefits of it.

id suggest the 4-2-1 since the B20 is mostly torque and youre not reving high enough to take advantage of a 4-1

think a DC 4-2-1 is big enough for a B20...especially one with 404's and 12:1 CR...or would another be better.

I currently have a 4-1 on my B18B that I was gonna transition to the B20
