With that mani you'll be making nice power with a 4-1.. 4-1 is for higher RPMS - DC 4-1

4-2-1 is helping out in the mid range. you cant go wrong with mid range power

well considering that our cars are MADE to make more power at higher revs, i'd rather make up for the loss it creates in the low-mid ranges.

Um.... You can't really feel your car losing power low end, thats all bullshit. 4-1 is the way to go.

4-1 will make more top end. it's the way it is.. there is very specific reasons for it as well but i don't feel like getting technical. there is no reason to dig up dynos because this is not new information. damn. this is honda-tech.. not club si.
