what are the pro/cons of a 4-1 design compared to a 4-2-1 design? I’ve look around on the net but it seems no one gives an answer without adding their own little 2 cents. I’m asking because this will be my next mod. ---

not sure what, but if my sale falls through on the hot shots header, it will be back up for sale once again if your interested. ---
