depends what you want....
4-1 gives max bhp at the top end, but less mid range
4-2-1 gives slightly less max bhp at top end, but loads more mid range
for a road car the 4-2-1 is probably better, however the 'which is better' 4-1 vrs 4-2-1 debate can go on for ages :LOL:
My 4-2-1 gives something like 55 ft lb more torque at 2500rpm than a 4-1 :eek:
