In the near future I plan on purchasing a new header. But I can't decide between 4-1 or 4-2-1. I am a somewhat-newbie on this subject, so if what I type from this point on seems like babble, please someone correct me 
From what I've read, 4-1 gives high end rpm, and 4-2-1 gives low end torque, correct? Ok, now with some logical problems I've seen on these boards.
I've seem people who, for example, would have a short ram, which they say destroys torque, then they would get the 4-2-1 header and "get that torque back" wouldnt the idea of modding a car is to get EVERYTHING better, not to lose some and get some back? When I mod my engine, I plan on modding it so one part of it is super strong. (I feel like a 10 year old using the word "super")...for example, let's say I want a really great low-end-torque vehicle. I'd get mods that up THAT and only that. This is assuming mods like this dont "overlap" (something that adds 10lb of torque and something else that adds 15lb of torque only results in a 15lb increase total) Do any of you know what the hell I'm talking about? Why do people add mods to their car that lower some part of their performace?
If that wasn't newbie enough, try this on for size;
I want to have a quick-dash vehicle. I want to be able to BLAST off that starting line. That would require low end torque? (or is there a way to get lots of low end horsepower? I havent heard many people talking about this) And if it does, what can I do to my vehicle besides the header to get it to do so?
For me, it is like I have to choose one when it comes to making mods to my cars.
Low End Torque vs High End Horsepower. what has everyone else choosen?
(oh crap I babbled, didn't i?)
