   Just been doing some reading etc...
   
   A decat will move the peak torque higher up in the rev range... any noticeable difference low down?
   
   Is the new kam 2 1/4" system.
   
   Also will be fitting 708's so guessing a 4 - 1 is better?
   
   Right in saying all of my gains will be up in the higher rev range? 4 - 5k?
   
   Dont fancy the low end suffering

   if the 708 is good higher up the power range then yea you will want a 4-1 manifold
   "The 4-1 manifold design optimises the power-band of your engine to where you need it most for the track environment."

   Theres nothing wrong with having 708's with a 4-2-1 though as that way the 4-2-1 will help lower down, and the 708's will improve higher up. That's what i'm doing anyway

   Feel free to slate me, but with a mildly standard VTS engine with 708s/ similar cams, I doubt you'd notice any difference between a 4-1 and 4-2-1.

   Tbf, ide never tell the difference since i dont intend to be caring about where the power kicks in etc etc.
   
   Its more just to know ive got the best it possibly can be
